Identifier (URI) is a compact sequence of characters that identifies an abstract or physical resource. This specification defines the generic URI syntax and a process for resolving URI references that might be in relative form, along with guidelines and security considerations for the use of URIs on the Internet. The URI syntax defines a grammar that is a superset of all valid URIs, allowing an implementation to parse the common components of a URI reference without knowing the scheme-specific requirements of every p4/o2s/0s8ib 1le2 :i0d9e AntMifier. This specification does not define a generative grammar for URIs; that task is performed by the individual specifications of each URI scheme.

    Weblint: Just Another Perl Hack Neil Bowers1 Canon Research Centre Europe Abstract Weblint is a utility for checking the syntax and style of HTML pages. It was inspired by lint [15], which performs a similar function for C and C++ programmers. Weblint does not aspire to be a strict SGML validator, but to provide helpful comments for humans. The importance of quality assurance for web sites is introduced, and one particular area, validation of HTML, is described in more detail. The bulk of the paper is devoted to weblint: what it is, how it is used, and the design and implementation of the current development version. 1. Introduction The conclusion opens with a summary of the information and opinions given in this paper. A Web sites are becoming an increasingly critical part of selection of the lessons learned over the last four years how many companies do business. For many companies is given, followed by plans for the future, and related web sites are their business. It is therefore critical that ideas. owners of web sites perform regular testing and analysis, to ensure quality of service. 2. Web Site Quality Assurance There are many different checks and analyses which The following are some of the questions you should be you can run on a site. For example, how usable is your asking yourself if you have a web presence. I have site when accessed via a modem? An incomplete list of limited the list to those points which are relevant to similar analyses are given at the start of Section 2.

Filename .html, .htm HTML is written in the form of HTML elements extension consisting of tags enclosed in angle brackets (like <html> ), within the web page content. HTML tags most Internet text/html commonly come in pairs like <h1> and </h1> , although media type some tags, known as empty elements , are unpaired, for Type code TEXT example <img> . The first tag in a pair is the start tag , the second tag is the end tag (they are also called opening Uniform Type public.html tags and closing tags ).

Story 1st April 2019 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT WEB AND INTERNET SCIENCE RESEARCH GROUP ELECTRONICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE A mini-thesis submitted for transfer from MPhil toPhD by Henry J. Story The Internet and the World Wide Web are global engineering projects that emerged from questions around information, meaning and logic that grew out of telecommunication research. It borrowed answers provided by philosophy, mathematics, engineering, security, and other areas. As a global engineering project that needs to grow in a multi-polar world of competing and cooperating powers, such a system must be built to a number of geopolitical constraints, of which the most important is a peer-to-peer architecture, i.e. one which does not require a central power to function, and that allows open as well as secret communication. After elaborating a set of geopolitical constraints on any global information system, we show that these are more or less satisfied at the raw-information transmission side of the Internet, as well as the document Web, but fails at the Application web, which currently is fragmented in a growing number of large systems with panopticon like architectures. In order to overcome this fragmentation, it is argued that the web needs to move to generalise the concepts from HyperText applications known as browsers to every data consuming application.

They are mainly used in navigation, where they act as external information sources, supporting observation and de- cision making processes. Map design, or the art-science of cartography, has led to simplification of the environment, where the naturally three- dimensional environment has been abstracted to a two-dimensional repre- sentation, populated with simple geometrical shapes and symbols.

Abstract This specification defines the Mathematical Markup Language, or MathML. MathML is an XML application for de- scribing mathematical notation and capturing both its structure and content. The goal of MathML is to enable mathe- matics to be served, received, and processed on the World Wide Web, just as HTML has enabled this functionality for text. This specification of the markup language MathML is intended primarily for a readership consisting of those who will be developing or implementing renderers or editors using it, or software that will communicate using MathML as a protocol for input or output. It is not a User’s Guide but rather a reference document. This document begins with background information on mathematical notation, the problems it poses, and the philos- ophy underlying the solutions MathML proposes.
