THE WORLD WIDE WEB

- a collection of websites or web pages stored in web servers and

connected to local computers through the internet.

What is THE WORLD WIDE WEB?

- The World Wide Web (WWW), commonly known as the Web, is

an information system enabling documents and other web
resources to be accessed over the Internet.

Documents and downloadable media are made available to the

network through web servers and can be accessed by programs
such as web browsers. Servers and resources on the World Wide
Web are identified and located through character strings
called uniform resource locators (URLs). The original and still
very common document type is a web page formatted
in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). This markup language
supports plain text, images,
embedded video and audio contents, and scripts (short
programs) that implement complex user interaction.

When was THE WORLD WIDE WEB first introduced?

- It was first introduced by by English computer scientist Tim

Berners-Lee while working at CERN in 1989. In four years after
publishing a proposal for “an idea of linked information systems,”
computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee released the source code for
the world's first web browser and editor.

Why was the The World Wide Web is Created?

- The web was originally conceived and developed to meet the

demand for automated information-sharing between scientists in
universities and institutes around the world.

Web 1.0 (Read only)

- Web 1.0 is the term used to describe the earliest form of the
internet. This was the first example of a global network, which
offered the potential for the future of digital communication and
information-sharing. This was the time when web pages and
websites were connected through hyperlinks. Websites then
were static and did not provide interactive content.

Characteristic of Web 1.0

1. Website pages are static. The pages do not allow interactivity

with the users.
2. Website contents and layouts are inseparable.
3. Website contents are stored in files.
4. Websites use proprietary HTML tags
5. Websites do not embed guestbook in the content page
6. Website forms are usually sent by email.

An example that shows static web page is Wikipedia. Even if it

had improvements, only textual and graphics are seen, and
hyperlinks are provided to navigate the page or linked to another
pages.

Web 2.0 (Read-Write)

- Web 2.0 is evolution of web 1.0 where we can read, write, and
create.

- The term Web 2.0 was coined by Darcy DiNucci in 1999 when
there was a major transformation in the World Wide Web. She
explained that the static
characteristics of then current web pages was just an embryo of
the transformation that comes. It means that the current state
then was only an initial stage. From that idea, she pointed out
that major development is yet to come.There, dynamic web
pages were born.

- Unlike the static web pages where only reading and linking to
pages are the primary tasks that can be done, dynamic web
pages during the Web 2.0 phase allowed interactivity. This means
that web users and visitors can perform tasks beyond what was
possible. This includes commenting, creating accounts, viewing,
and giving feedback, sharing, collaborating, and communicating.
These can be done through platforms like social media
networking sites, video sharing sites, wikis, hosted services, and
other web applications. The Web 2.0 technology allowed users'
active participation that created optimal experience among
them.

Characteristics of web 2.0

1. It has user-generated contents.

2. It has emphasis on user experience.
3. t has improved interoperability.

Web 2.0 can be best exemplified by our experience with

YouTube. Unlike static pages, YouTube, including dynamic web
pages, lets the user interact dynamically by allowing them to
comment, like or dislike and many other tasks.

Web 3.0 (read-write-execute)

- It is known as the future of the internet.

- The Web 3.0is the phase of web development that follows Web
2.0. Although it is still a debate whether the world is at this stage
now, or it is moving toward this phase, some identified features
are already evident. This phase is known to be an improved
version of the first two web development phases. It retains its
interactive, collaborative, and socially connected features. It
also still exhibits the static informational property of many web
pages.
Furthermore, Web 3.0 is known as the semantic web pages. By
this paradigm, it means that data and information are being
shared and reused across the web.

- Web 3.0 was originally called the Semantic Web by World Wide
Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee, and was conceived as a more
autonomous, intelligent, and open internet.
This internet would involve AI and ML which would process
content like a "global brain", with all data being connected in a
way that is contextual and conceptual. But this didn't pan out.
The tech just wasn't.
This all leads to a Web 3.0 where users interact in a
decentralised way, but with security. From money, to
information, all exchanges are conducted without the need for
tech companies, banks, or any other middlemen.

Characteristics of web 3.0

1. It adheres to minimalist design.

2. It uses the semantic web framework.
3. It is an ever-present web.
4. It applies and uses artificial intelligence.

Online Systems, Functions, and Platforms

Online System - refer to the integrated and collaborative use of
software, hardware, and the internet to deliver their intended
functions through an identified platform. Using the internet,
online systems deliver information and services to their users.
They are used to manage the data involved in the process. The
management may be in the forms of storing, retrieving, and
editing. Online systems make process simpler, faster, and more
convenient for the users.

Online Functions - It is a platform that give users the possibility

to control their data. Online systems' functions may include but
not limited to the following:

1. They may be used as a tool for searching and researching vital

information.
.
2. They may be used to speed up transactions that may take
more time when done manually.

3. They may be used organize records that are generated in

single or multiple transactions.

4. They may be used to manage the data involved in online

transactions.

5. They may be used to ease the tedious process in manual

operations both in the side of the service providers and the
clients.

Online platforms - refer to the range of services and tools

available on the internet that will be used to provide the

Contextualized Online Search and Vital Research Skills

One of the most vital developments in information and

communication technology is the advent of online searching
technologies. Using several search engines like Yahoo, Google
and Bing, a multitude of information can be accessed from
various online websites and databases. Searching can be done
for personal academic and professional purposes. Asides from
search engines, many websites and databases can be accessed
for free, while in other cases, users may have to pay an amount
of money to gain access. For example, several open access
online journal can be visited when, in need of validated
information for Scholarly Purposes. Here are some open access
journal you may visit online:

Sports Track
The Sport Journal publishes scientific articles addressing issues
in sports.

Music, Arts and Design Strand

International Journal of Music and Performing Arts is a refereed
journal that caters research and book
reviews in the field of music and performing arts.

Science, Technology, Mathematics, Engineering, and Technology

The World Wide Web offers a lot of journal and other information
data banks that a user can access and use to enrich his or her
knowledge of a particular subject he or she does into. May also
visit websites of the government renowned private organizations
and academic institutions to collect and secure credible data.
When writing an academic or scholarly text such as a research
report, a student must have the skills necessary in a process of
conducting a particular study as, research skill are fundamental
in learning dicipline or field.

The following are vital research skills that every student-

researcher must possess:

1. Be familiar of research engine that you can use in your online

search . The most common here are Google and Yahoo, but there
are other research engines that you can use.

2. Keep a record of websites, web page and online databases

that you can access for specific information that you need . For
instance, you may access the website of the United Nations at
www.unorg. Forinformationcattered within the parameters of the
organization. Government, academic and non government
institutions do usually have their own websites where a number
of credible data can be accessed. Journals and other open
access publications have their websites as well.

3. Know the words or key phrases of the topic you are searching
online this. Is a very important skill, because the more defined
the words are key phrases, is the bigger the chances that the
search engine will provide the most accurate links for your
inquiry.

4. Utilize commercial searching platforms like EBSEO and

PROQUEST whatever possible. For published materials like
journals magazines books and others scholarly text. These
commercial searching platforms can provide you with a wide
range of text that cannot be convincedly and freely accessed by
