Finally, we list the necessary resources and present a bibliography. The World Wide Web was introduced in 1990 by CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. The Web was developed to allow geographically separate collaborators to share their ideas and work on a common project. The Web has gained unprecedented widespread use as a tool for simple data sharing among remote sites. Several features of the Web important to our work are listed below.
Hyperlinks allow networks of data and information to be created and traversed.
Regardless of the server type, the web client acts as an identical user interface to most Internet protocols. Users do not need to acquire multiple tools, or learn different access and retrieval methods for different types or repositories of data. Compiled Java programs may be referenced as Applets in HTML pages just as images are referenced in Web pages. A Web client that supports Java will retrieve the Java bytecode based on an HTML reference, and then interpret and run it on the client machine. Java applets are written without concern for the system which will ultimately run them.
