World Origin Site

We didn't find very helpful but perhaps we are expecting this organisation to be something that it is not.  From that website: "What is a World Origin Site? A World Origin Site is somewhere completely unique. It marks the place, people and moment when something truly ground-breaking was invented, discovered or first used."

The website explains the nomination and accreditation process, but the organisation(s) that oversee and manage all this are not identified. It's not clear if a plaque is erected at every WOS. We could not find a searchable list of the WOSs accredited so far. All a bit annoying.
