Information about WWW

The World Wide Web (a.k.a. WWW, a.k.a. W3) is a virtual network of thousands of information providers throughout the enormous Internet. The project started at CERN in Switzerland and it has received tremendous popularity amongst librarians, scientists, professors, students and many more.

The really strong features of WWW is the ability to provide all kinds of data (text, hypertext, datafiles, image, video and sound) and the ability to execute a remote program in order to retreive a "snapshot" of a databank, search through efficient database management systems and God knows what.
