ABSTRACT
Summary. The World Wide Web (WWW) is an Internet access protocol. Along with the new user interface developed last year by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) called Mosaic, the Web provides its creator the ability to present information in an attractive format. Even better, it enables links within documents and between documents, files, sound and graphical (i.e., multi-media) formats. Items can be read linearly or the reader can move in a hyper-text/media manner among information. MOSAIC can be used as an interface for many kinds of Internet information accesses, but it is particularly useful with WWW, because it simplifies access to non-text forms such as images, movies, sound, etc. Mosaic is able to interpret the type of media being requested and to transparently open the tools the user needs.
