The World Wide Web is a world-wide repository of linked information, called hypertext or hypermedia. It consists of
  • A user interface consistent across many computers
  • A set of standards that enables the interface to access a variety of document types and information protocols.
  • A provision for universal access, based on the Internet domain name schemes.
In this talk, we give a brief background on the Internet, Client/Server Architectures and the components of the World Wide Web.
