| 释义 | Mosaic An Internet browser that provides a consistent user interface available in versions to support Macintosh, Microsoft Windows, and Unix–X Windows. Mosaic can be used over dedicated or dial-up connections. In dial-up mode, the Internet service provider (ISP) must support either Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) or Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). Mosaic enables the easy browsing of WWW resources through menus that support hypertext. Selected files can include audio and graphics, both of which can be viewed without the requirement to download the subject file. Mosaic was developed by a team led by Marc Andreessen at the National Center for Supercomputing (NCSA) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus. Mosaic technology is licensed by the NCSA for commercial application. Spyglass, Inc. licensed well over 12 million copies of Mosaic to IBM, DEC, and others who intended to resell the company’s Enhanced Mosaic, which includes security mechanisms based on Secure Hypertext Transport Protocol (S-HTTP). Ultimately, Spyglass Mosaic was licensed to Microsoft, where it formed the basis for Internet Explorer (IE). Mosaic also is known as NCSA Mosaic. Note: Marc Andreessen later developed the Netscape Navigator browser, as well. See also browser, hypertext, Internet, Internet Explorer, ISP, Mozilla, Netscape Navigator, PPP, S-HTTP, SLIP, and WWW. |
