T5.2 Basic Characteristics and Capabilities of the Internet T5.3 Browsing and the World Wide Web T5.4 Communication Tools for the Internet T5.5 Other Internet Tools T5.1 T5.2 Technology Guide The Internet and the Web T5.1 What Is the Internet?1 The Internet (“the Net”) is a network that connects hundreds of thousands of inter- nal organizational computer networks worldwide. Examples of internal organiza- tional computer networks are a university computer system, the computer system of a corporation such as IBM or McDonald’s, a hospital computer system, or a system used by a small business across the street from you. Participating computer systems, called nodes, include PCs, local area networks, database(s), and mainframes.A node may include several networks of an organization, possibly connected by a wide area network. The Internet connects to hundreds of thousands of computer networks in more than 200 countries so that people can access data in other organizations, and can communicate and collaborate around the globe, quickly and inexpensively. Thus, the Internet has become a necessity in the conduct of modern business. The Internet grew out of an experimental project of the Advanced Research Proj- BRIEF HISTORY ect Agency (ARPA) of the U.S. Department of Defense.The project was initiated in 1969 as ARPAnet to test the feasibility of a wide area computer network over which researchers, educators, military personnel, and government agencies could share data, exchange messages, and transfer files.

Ragwitz, Ralph Segert, Michael Jaroszewski"> <meta name="contact" content= "[email protected]"> <meta name=”print" content="cw Obotritendruck GmbH Schwerin”> © 2000 ideenreich.com ISBN 3-928484-25-7 Editorial Seit Oktober 97 hilft Dr. Web Seitengestaltern und Home- pageautoren bei der täglichen Arbeit. Was als Dienstleistung ange- fangen hat, ist im Laufe der Zeit zu einem bekannten Online- Magazin herangewachsen. Inzwischen gibt es mehr als 400 Artikel in diversen Rubriken. Grund genug, die Site komplett zu überar- beiten und in neuer Form als Buch herauszubringen. Wir haben es uns nicht leicht gemacht und keineswegs einfach HTML- Seiten zwischen die Buchdeckel gepresst. Alle Artikel wur- den aufbereitet, geordnet und mit Abbildungen versehen. An genau dieser Stelle ist die gedruckte Form dem Online-Publishing überlegen. Das Web ist ein flüchtiges und schnelles Medium, während das Buch die Dinge zu bewahren sucht und in unwandel- barer Form griffbereit hält. Die dahinterstehende Absicht erkennt man schon mit Blick auf den Umschlag. Kein schönes Buch soll es sein, sondern ein prakti- sches Werk. Ein Buch, das man immer wieder zur Hand nehmen muss und das ein ständiger Begleiter auf dem Schreibtisch ist. Seine endgültige Form erreicht es aber erst mit Ihrer Hilfe. Dann nämlich, wenn seine Seiten mit Notizen und Anmerkungen beschrieben sind, hier und da Flecken auf manchen Seiten pran- gen und Eselsohren die wichtigsten Stellen markieren. Wir mögen es, wenn Sie grob mit unsere Arbeit umgehen. Äußer- lichkeiten sind hier Nebensache, so lange Sie nur größtmöglichen Nutzen aus dem Werk ziehen.

  • Web Search Algorithms
    Web Search Algorithms - 1 - Why web search in this module ? • WWW is the delivery platform and the interface • How do we find information and services on the web … we try to generate a url that seems sensible – Dell Computers – www.dell.ie, Ford Ireland – www.ford.ie But products? • GPS Devices – www.gps.ie is not ok • Or, we use a Search Engine – So we rely on Search Engines - we even use them to look up spellings and as a calculator ! • Search Engines bring people to a website – For most, such as Google, ranking algorithm is closely guarded, wholesome, true, uncorrupted, and not paid • advertisements are merely sold based on similarity to query keywords. • This leads to the industry of Search Engine Optimisations (SEO) ... the “Google Dance” - 2 - Text IR - Google as example • Google is operational since 1998 – Two PhD students from Stanford • ?? Billion documents – Early search engines competed on size of index, related to how powerful their infrastructure was. Not an issue now. – Stopped advertising after 8,168,684,336 pages in Aug 2005 – Size now, effectively unknown • Also has ??? billion images – not all unique images – Flickr has about 2B (Nov 2007); FaceBook had 4.1 B at that time - 3 - Searching or Marketing? • However, Search Engines must make a profit! – Advertisment Sales – Marketing – Paid Listings – And selling their indexes • A lot of Search Engines are also marketing companies… – This is at odds with the idea that a search engine is a page you visit on the way elsewhere. • The less time you spend there the better! • But, many people ‘pass through the doors’, so they sell query focussed advertisements – You can estimate by looking at the main page of the search engine.
