World Wide Web

According to the W3C:

The World Wide Web (Web) is a network of information resources. The Web relies on three mechanisms to make these resources readily available to the widest possible audience:

  1. A uniform naming scheme for locating resources on the Web (e.g., URLs).

  2. Protocols, for access to named resources over the Web (e.g., HTTP).

  3. Hypertext, for easy navigation among resources (e.g., HTML).
