Abstract:
the World Wide Web is the collection of globally distributed text and multimedia documents and files and other network services linked in such a way as to create an immense electronic library from which information can be retrieved quickly by intuitive searches. "The Web was developed to be a pool of human knowledge, which would allow collaborators in remote sites to share their ideas and all aspects of a common project." (Wardrip-Fruin & Nick, 2003). The Web links represent the application of hypertext technology and a graphical interface to the Internet to retrieve information that is contained in specially formatted documents that may reside in the same computer or be distributed across many computers around the world. The three main elements of Web are (i) the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), to write contents, (ii) the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) defines a set of standards for transmitting Web pages across the Internet, (iii) the Universal Resource Locator (URL) is a standardized naming convention for identifying a Web document or file, in a sense the address of a link. The combined output is called the Web because it is made up of many sites, all linked together, allowing users to travel from one site to the next by clicking on a hyperlink.
