SilkPerformer Internet Compliancy Tests"The Web is a syntesis of much of what has been accomplished by the computer and information science in the last two decades. But the Web is made possible by three important technologies:
- The address system, Universal Resource Locators (URLs), allowing almost any kind of information to be retrieved from almost anywhere on the Internet.
- The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), the lingua franca of Web browsers and servers, allowing many different programs to work together.
- The HyperText Markup Language (HTML), allowing authors to create multimedia hypertext that can be used by any Web browser."
