World Wide Web

"The World Wide Web is the universe of network-accessible information, an embodiment of human knowledge." - Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web The world wide web (www) is a network of computers storing interlinked hypertext, hypermedia, and other files. It is called a web because of the extensive parallel linking that goes on between different websites. Each web site has a domain with a [[URL]] which corresponds to a file in its memory. Others can link to this file using the [[URL]] system. An example is http://www.leveltendesign.com/wiki/world-wide-web Each web site on the world wide web is stored on a web server. Many sites can be stored on one web server. The data can be sent many different ways, and the W3C is the de facto standards body that is responsible for their existence and continued development.
