What makes the Web work?
- The Web is defined (TAG) as an "universal network of information
resources"
-
Universality has been the trademarks of URIs, originally
"Universal Resource Identifiers", not "Uniform".
-
The Internet servers as the underlying network.
-
The notion of information is notoriously vague. Everything
from Shannon's information theory to Dretske's "Knowledge and the
flow of information"
-
Tim Berners-Lee: "The wondeful thing about the notion of
resources is that I spent five years without anyone asking me
to define it!"
