Good question. What is the WEB. It is HTTP retrievable information? Or any information retrievable over TCP/IP? Or IP? Or via other protocols? I don't know if I know what the definition of the Web is? Funny how you use a term but can't define it. What is the definition?

Palmer Sent: Saturday, May 19, 2001 3:45 PM To: WAI Cross-group list Subject: Glossary: Web Content I just noticed that the WAI glossary [1] is lacking a definition for the term "Web Content", which is rather odd. I wanted to reuse a definition for EARL, but found that I couldn't just steal one from WCAG, which is a shame... Really, "Web Content" should be used to indicate any network retrievable "Web Resource" [2], but I think that WCAG uses it in the sense of "content suitable for use in a hypermedia environment", i.e. anything that can be handled by HTTP.
