What is World Wide Web?

[datluong]

Collection of internet resources (such as FTP, telnet, Usenet), hyperlinked text, audio, and video files, and remote sites that can be accessed and searched by browsers based on standards such as HTTP and TCP/IP. Also called the web, it was created in 1989 by the UK physicist Tim Berners-Lee while working at the European Particle Physics Laboratory (called CERN after its French initials Conseil Europeen de Reserches Nucleaires) in Switzerland, as an easier way to access information scattered across the internet.

The World Wide Web, or just "the Web," as ordinary people call it, is a subset of the Internet. The Web consists of pages that can be accessed using a Web browser. The Internet is the actual network of networks where all the information resides. Things like Telnet, FTP, Internet gaming, Internet Relay Chat (IRC), and e-mail are all part of the Internet, but are not part of the World Wide Web.

WWW is an information space where documents and other web resources are identified by Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), interlinked by hypertext links, and can be accessed via the Internet.

It’s an application. This application initially was meant to share documents between hosts through internet. The WEB is composed mainly by two programs: one, called Web Server, that hosts the documents to be shared; the other is the web browser, through which remote documents (that are in a web server) can be accessed. The WEB uses Internet (in fact it’s a the top of the protocol stack), but it’s not Internet. Most people think web = Internet because it’s (or was, now i’m not so sure) the most widely used internet application. Other application in the application layer are BitTorrent, E-mail etc..
