                                                              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).
