INTRODUCTION:-
 World Wide Web , which is known as web , WWW or W3 is a collection of
websites stored in web servers and connected to local computers through the
internet.
 Collection of linked web pages on a web server is known as website .There is
unique Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is associated with each web
page.
 A web page is an individual HTML document to the internet has a web
browser.
 The World Wide Web is the network of pages of images , texts and
sounds on the internet which can be viewed using browser software.
 World Wide Web Day is celebrated on the 1st of August every year.
HISTORY:-
 The development of the world wide web was begun in 1989 by Tim Berners-
Lee and his colleagues at CERN (European Organisation for Nuclear
Research) , an international scientific organization based in Geneva
Switzerland .
 Means for transferring text and graphics simultaneously.
 Berners-Lee developed the essentials of the web HTTP , HTML , world wide
web Browser , a Server, and the first website while working at the organisation.
 Berners-Lee and his team developed a text-based web browser that was
released in early 1992.
 Then world wide web rapidly grow and millions people accepted and use it.
 After inventing the web, Tim Berners-Lee also founded the World Wide
Web Consortium a non-profit international consortium that aims to
standardize the web through specifications and reference software.
COMPONENTS:-
The components of www mainly two types or falls into two categories:
1. Structural Components
2. Semantic Components
Structural Components Semantic Components
1. Clients/Browser 1. HTTP
2. Servers 2. HTML
3. Caches 3. XML
4. Internet 4. URL
Structural Components:-
Structural Components are divided into Four type. These are given below.
1. Clients/Web Browser:-
 The client /Web browser is basically a program that is used to communicate
with the web server on the internet
 Each browser mainly comprises of three components and these are:
 Controller
 Interpreter
 Client protocols
 Example :- Mozilla Firefox , Internet Explorer , Opera and Google Chrome etc.
2. Server:-
 A server is a computer program or device that provides a service to another
computer program and its user clients and provides requested service to client.
Example: Web server sends requested web page.
3. Internet:-
 A global system of interconnected computers ,using a standardised internet
protocol for communication and sharing information is called the internet.
 World wide web is part of Internet.
4. Caches:-
 A web cache is a system for optimizing the world wide web.
 It is implemented both client-side and server-side
Semantic Components:-
Semantic components are also divided into four types. These are given below.
1. URL :-
 A web page is given an online address called a Uniform Resource Locator
(URL).
 A particular collection of web pages that belong to a specific URL is called a
websites, example- www.facebook.com , www.google.com etc.
 URL mainly defines the four things:
1. Protocol
2. Host computer
3. Port
4. Path
 Protocol : // Host : Post / Path
2. HTML:-
 It is a Hypertext Mark up Language.
 It is mainly used to define the contents , structure and organization of the web
page.
3. XML:- (Extensible Mark up Language)
 It mainly helps in order to define the common syntax in the semantic web.
4. HTTP:-(Hypertext Transfer protocol)
 The client sends of the user request to a www server using the Hypertext
Transfer Protocol.
 It is specifies for communication between the client and server.
How The World Wide Web Works ?:-
 The web works as per the internet basic client-server format.
 Server hosts the websites.

 Servers stores all the websites just as someone lives on rent in a house , a
website occupies a space in a server and remains stored in it.
 A client requests to the server through the web browser or site owner pays the
hosting price for the same domain.
 Then the server receive requested message and send requested data to the web
browser.
 This process is starts when you open your browser and enter a URL in the
address bar or check Google.
FEATURES:-
 It provides a system for Hypertext information.
 It is open standards and open source.
 It can be distributed and can create Multimedia document.
 Mainly makes the use of web Browser in order to provide a single
interface for many services and support many frames.
 It is User friendly, dynamic , Interactive , cross-platform .

CHARACTERISTICS:-
There are some major characteristics of the web.
 Accessible to all users and mobile compatibility.
 Well , planned information Architecture and Well-Formatted content that is
easy to scan.
 It has fast Load Times.
 It provides Browser Consistency and effective navigation.
 Good Error Handling.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WORLD WIDE WEB AND INTERNET:-
 Many people use the terms Internet and World Wide Web interchangeably.
They think they are the same thing , but it is not so.
 Internet is entirely different from www . It is a world wide network of devices
like computers , laptops , tablets etc.
 It connects millions of computers together globally , forming a network in
which any computer can communicate with any other computer as long as they
are both connected to the internet.
 The world wide web , or simply web , is a way of accessing information over
the medium of the internet.
 So the web is just a portion of the internet , able it a large portion , but the two
terms are not synonymous and should not be confused.
ADVANTAGES:-
 It mainly provides all the information for free.
 Provides rapid Interactive way of communication

 It is accessible from anywhere
 It has become the Global source of media.
 It mainly facilitates the exchange of a huge volume of data.
DISADVANTAGES:-
There are some draw backs of www and these are:
 It is difficult to prioritize and filter some information.
 There is no guarantee of finding what one person is looking for.
 There occurs some danger in case of overload of information.
 There is no quality control over the available data.
CONCLUSION:-
 With the invention of world wide web , the communication between countries
gets closer and closer. Also the information spread faster and convenient for
people all over the world.
