Shorthand for
the World Wide Web (WWW).
A technical definition of the
World Wide Web is: all the resources and users on the Internet that
are using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). A broader
definition comes from the organization that Web inventor Tim
Berners-Lee helped found, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C): "The
World Wide Web is the universe of network-accessible information, an
embodiment of human knowledge." |
