What is the World Wide Webs place in the Internet?
World Wide Web (WWW or Web) is one facet of the Internet consisting of client and server computers handling multimedia documents. Client computers use browser software (such as Netscape Navigator) to view documents (pages). Server computers use server software to maintain documents for clients to access. Web documents are created by authors using a language called HTML (HyperText Markup Language) that offers short codes (also called tags) to designate graphical elements and links. Clicking on links brings documents located on a server to a browser, irrespective of the server’s geographic location. Documents may contain text, images, sounds, movies, or a combination. Documents are addressed with a URL (Uniform Resource Locator or, for short, location). Clients and servers use a document’s URL to find and distinguish among documents.
