The World Wide Web
1. The WWW
or Web is a project whose goal is to offer a simple, consistent
interface to the vast resources of the Internet. When you use the
Web, you follow your nose: i.e., you start anywhere you want, and you
jump from one place to another pursuing whatever strikes your fancy.
With only a few simple commands, you can jump way around the Internet
like
a hyperactive flea at a dog convention
.
2. To understand the Web we need to start with the idea of hypertext. Hypertext is data that contain links to other data. A simple example of hypertext is an encyclopaedia, the entry on “Trees”. At the end of the article you see a reference saying, ‘For related information see Plants’. This last link is a link from the “Trees” article to the “Plants” article.
3. The Web
is based on hypertext that is a lot more complex. There may be links
anywhere within a document, not just at the end. A hypertext
document, in the language of the Web, is something that contains data
and links to other documents. The program that you use to read a
hypertext document is called a browser. As you follow one link to
another, it
means that you are navigating the Web
.
4. The word
hypermedia is referring to documents that contain a variety of data
types and not just plain text. So, the
Web does contain some hypermedia
,
but most of what you see will
be plain vanilla hypertext
:
textual material that you can display on your screen.
5. The job
of your browser is to act as
a window into the Internet by following links you desire
,
and by accessing each document using an appropriate method.
6. So, the Web does allow you to access all kinds of Internet resources, just by using a browser to “read” the appropriate document. The Web also uses a client / server system.
