A global interlinked hypertext system that uses the Internet infrastructure to network client workstations and servers all around the world based on the Hypertext Transport Protocol (HTTP). Documents on the WWW — known as pages, home pages, or Web pages — are written in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), are identified by Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), and are transmitted over the Internet through the use of HTTP.The WWW also incorporates hypermedia, which is hyperlinked multimedia, including not only text, but also audio, graphics, animations, and video.Tim Berners-Lee developed the WWW at l’Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire (CERN), which translates from French as The European Council for Nuclear Research and is generally known as the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, in Geneva, Switzerland. The home of the WWW is now the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), a cooperative venture of CERN, The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and l’Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique (INRIA), which translates from French as the National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control. See also CERN, client, HTML, HTTP, hypermedia, hypertext, INRIA, multimedia, server, URL, and W3C. 2. Wicked Witch of the West. Margaret Hamilton, who played the Wicked Witch of the West in the 1939 film “The Wizard of Oz,” often used WWW in autographing photos of herself in costume.That was long before the World Wide Web was invented.The WWW’s most oft-quoted line is, “I’ll get you, my pretty — and your little dog, too!” Dorothy, however, was protected by Glinda, the Good Witch of the North. Alas, Good does not always triumph over Wickedness in the real world. |
