One aspect of the Internet. WWW documents are written in HTML and viewed using a browser. Their great attraction is that they can seamlessly display multi media and be linked to one another via hyperlinks, creating a vast network of documents and information. In practice, it can be very difficult to find one's way around the World Wide Web, or to locate information effectively even with the use of a search engine. It remains a very useful communications tool.

World Wide Web is a worldwide collection of text and multimedia files and other network services interconnected via a system of hypertext documents. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) was created in 1990, at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland, as a means for sharing scientific data internationally, instantly, and inexpensively. With hypertext, a word or phrase can contain a link to other text. To achieve this, CERN developed a programming language called HTML, that allows you to easily link to other pages or network services on the Web.
A system of finding and accessing Internet files and programs utilizing hypertext. The World Wide Web allows users to navigate the Internet by following links from documents on one computer to documents on others. The Web employs html, allowing files to be viewed in a graphical format. The World Wide Web was developed by CERN in the early 1990s and has quickly become one of the most popular Internet applications.
The Web provides an user-friendly interface to internet resources. The ability to jump from document to document (hypertext) provides a great way to share information that includes text, graphics, sound files, etc. Not all internet material is available through the Web, but this is quickly becoming the delivery method of choice. In addition Web browsers like Netscape are incorporating the ability to send email. Some lingo
The graphical extension to the Internet.
A system of information which operates across the Internet. Web pages are written in HTML (a simple system of plain text, graphics and an embedded command language) and are displayed on a computer by a Web browser. One of the great attractions of "the Web" is that it uses the standard Internet addressing system which permits any computer in the world to be identified uniquely, so that a hypertext link on any Web page can be made to point to any other page of information in the world, and to fetch it transparently for the user. This is the `Web' of information which spreads around the World.
