The WWW project, started by CERN (the European Laboratory for Particle Physics), seeks to build a distributed hypermedia system. To access the web, you run a browser program. The browser reads documents, and can fetch documents from other sources. Information providers set up hypermedia servers which browsers can get documents from. The browsers can, in addition, access files by FTP, NNTP (the Internet news protocol), gopher and an ever-increasing range of other methods. On top of these, if the server has search capabilities, the browsers will permit searches of documents and databases. The document "World Wide Web Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)" is posted to news.answers, comp.infosystems.www, comp.infosystems.gopher, comp.infosystems.wais and alt.hypertext on the 1st and 15th of every month (please allow a day or two for it to propagate to your site).
