Excerpt from: http://www.w3.org/ : The World Wide Web is the universe of network-accessible information. Also, http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/WWW/ "About The World Wide Web" The World Wide Web (W3) is the universe of network-accessible information, an embodiment of human knowledge. It is an initiative started at CERN, now with many participants. It has a body of software, and a set of protocols and conventions. W3 uses hypertext and multimedia techniques to make the web easy for anyone to roam, browse, and contribute to. I believe this is still an accurate assesment (sp?). >I'm really asking about the evolution of the term - as other systems >(ie other protocols, other GUIs to the net) evolve and integrate >with the "Web" (it's inevitable), it seems that undoubtedly we'll use >the term to refer to all of that. Agreed. Dan
