Abstract
The World-Wide Web (WWW, or the Web) is a distributed information system on the Internet This distributed information system could contain data, text, images, and other type of data and information. Documents are stored in hypertext form with links to other relevant documents that could be kept on various machines around the network Users can retrieve these pieces of data and information (from wherever they reside on the Web) by pointing and clicking with a mouse and interact with services such as databases by using forms and menus. There are several programs available that allow a user to view, write, and publish documents on the Web. Information can be located on the WWW by using subject indexes, Web crawlers, and on-line databases. New capabilities and information resources are continuously created on the Web making it a very dynamic system. However, there are some limitations due to the rigid structure of the hypertext model and the chaotic distribution and management of Web resources. These difficulties pose some challenges for future developments of the WWW.
