CONCEPT OF WWW
The World Wide Web (WWW) is a system for creating, organizing, and
linking documents so that they may be easily browsed.
The Web has transformed the ways in which we communicate, learn, and
socialize, and it has changed the ways in which we think about
information, information seeking, and interacting with information
systems.
It is, moreover, one of the principal factors underlying globalization, in the
process creating a vast array of connections involving individuals, groups,
institutions, and providing a platform that has redefined workflow in many
organizations through computer-to computer data interchanges as well as
the creation of collaborative communities.
The Web has succeeded because: many relevant conditions were “right”
and it has relied from the outset on a simple, derivative architecture,
consisting of the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), the Hypertext
Transfer Protocol (HTTP), and the Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
