ABSTRACT
At its inception, the World Wide Web, or just the web for short, it was envisioned to be just a distributed library of interlinked hypertext documents. The documents in the library resided on the computers connected to the Internet. The hyperlinks, embedded within the hypertext documents, provided a user-friendly mechanism for navigating the universe of documents-suggestively called the docuverse [McKnight et al. 1991, Nelson 1980]. Tim Berners-Lee, the “father” of the web, designed and implemented the infrastructure by harnessing the data transport capabilities of the Internet.
