WWW is an Internet-borne distributed collection of documents that users can navigate via hypertext. Companies that had been confused about how to establish a presence on the Internet, which has traditionally been hostile to advertising, are rushing to set up WWW servers, which provide everything from customer support to marketing. Businesses are also turning to secure transaction servers to increase their sales. SUBJECT: World Wide Web. Mosaic (Computer programs). Secure Electronic Transaction protocol.

STANDARD NO: 0003-0996 DATE: 1994 PLACE: United States RECORD TYPE: art CONTENTS: feature article ABSTRACT: The World Wide Web represents a dramatic advance on the Internet. By its own definition, the World Wide Web is the universe of network-accessible information, an embodiment of human knowledge. There have been protocols for transferring different types of information over the Internet for a long time, but the web provides the first seamless interface to the complete network. In other words, the user need no longer think much about where information is held, either physically or in terms of the syntax of domain names and addressing conventions. In addition, the web is a hypermedia system, which means that linked documents need not be text alone. In fact, most web documents include such graphic elements as photographs, drawings, diagrams, and different kinds of ornamental flourishes. The workings of the web and some of the scientific information available on this system are described. SUBJECT: World Wide Web. Record: 7 AUTHOR: Schatz, Bruce R.; Hardin, Joseph B.

STANDARD NO: 0036-8075 DATE: 1994 PLACE: United States RECORD TYPE: art CONTENTS: feature article ABSTRACT: Network information systems reached the public consciousness this year as a result of the phenomenal growth in the use of the Internet. In particular, the software constituting NCSA (National Center for Supercomputing Applications) Mosaic and the World Wide Web have made global hypermedia a widespread reality for the first time. The technology underlying this software is described to explain the protocols behind information spaces. These include the historical predecessors, the current protocols with examples, future directions for the software, and discussion of research systems with different architectures. Reasons for its popularity are given, with the goal of illuminating successful services for the National Information Infrastructure. Copyright 1994 by the AAAS. SUBJECT: Mosaic (Computer programs).

The World- Wide Web (W3) was designed to be a pool of human knowledge that would allow users in remote locations to collaborate on a common project. When a W3 "client" program is run, it displays an object, usually a document with text and possibly images. Some of the phrases and images are highlighted. Clicking the mouse on the highlighted area causes the client program to retrieve information from some other computer, a "server." Retrieved information may be presented in hypertext, plain text, or multimedia format. W3 has not yet met its design goal of being a pool of data that is as easy to update as to read. That level of intimacy of knowledge sharing awaits the general availability of easy-to-use hypertext editors for most formats. SUBJECT: Client server computing. World Wide Web. Internet.

SOURCE: New Scientist v. 143 (July 30 '94) p. 35-9 STANDARD NO: 0262-4079 DATE: 1994 PLACE: United Kingdom RECORD TYPE: art CONTENTS: feature article ABSTRACT: The struggle to build links between the fragmented data on the Internet computer network is considered. Although the Internet encompasses over 20 million computers in over 60 countries, there is still no central point for finding out what information is held on the system. In 1989, a computer programmer at CERN began development of a system of "server" and "browser" computer programs to form a hypertextual system called the Web. In this system, each of the documents that the browser displays has links to other routes of information. A protocol language called Hypertext Markup Language spells out exactly how a document should be formatted in order to work on the Web. In 1992, programmers at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana developed NCSA Mosaic, a way of accessing the Web using icons and a mouse. Versions of Mosaic are now available for X-Windows, Windows, and Mac systems. SUBJECT: Network servers. World Wide Web.
