Wikipedia said on 2009-04-09 "The World Wide Web (commonly abbreviated as "the Web") is a very large set of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet.“ Therefore the web (I neglect the W) brings together two things hypertext the Internet Both hypertext and the Internet are older than the web, but the web brings them together. hypertext Is text that contains links to other texts. Printed scientific papers, that contain links to other papers, are an ancestor of hypertext. But hypertext really comes to work when we are looking at electronic texts. The term was coined by Ted Nelson in 1965. Web pages are a type of hypertext written in HTML. HTML HTML is the hypertext markup language. Markup? Markup is a way to add notes to a text that are set aside from the contents of the text. Example |paragraph_start| This is a paragraph. |paragraph_end| Markup can be used to set out the structure of a textual document. Domain Name System Domain Name System allows us to associate human-friendly names with IP addresses. These names are called domains names. Domain names can be leased from domain name registrars. A machine with a domain name on the Internet is called a host. When we know the domain name of the host, we can communicate with the host.
