What is the World Wide Web?
The World Wide Web (Web) is a network of
information resources. The Web relies on
three mechanisms to make these resources
readily available to the widest possible
audience:
◦ A uniform naming scheme for locating resources
on the Web (e.g., URIs).
◦ Protocols, for access to named resources over the
Web (e.g., HTTP).
◦ Hypertext, for easy navigation among resources
(e.g., HTML).
