The Bay Area SIGWEB was a special interest group for the World Wide Web that was founded in August 1993 by the staff of the UCSF Center for Knowledge Management (CKM) [1], at the direction of CKM Director Dr. Michael Doyle, who later became the founder of Eolas.

Prominent members included Xerox PARC, Sun Microsystems, O'Reilly Publishers, and Pacific Bell.
