W3QS: A Query System for the World-Wide Web

Abstract: The World-Wide Web (WWW) is an ever growing, distributed, non-administered, global information resource. It resides on the worldwide computer network and allows access to heterogeneous information: text, image, video, sound and graphic data. Currently, this wealth of information is difficult to mine. One can either manually, slowly and tediously navigate through the WWW or utilize indexes and libraries which are built by automatic search engines (called knowbots or robots). We have designed and are now implementing a high level SQL-like language to support effective and flexible query processing, which addresses the structure and content of WWW nodes and their varied sorts of data. Query results are intuitively presented and continuously maintained when desired. The language itself integrates new utilities and existing Unix tools (e.g. grep, awk). The implementation strategy is to employ existing WWW browsers and Unix tools to the extent possible.

Guide to the Internet: The world wide web

Abstract: The world wide web provides a uniform, user friendly interface to the Internet. Web pages can contain text and pictures and are interconnected by hypertext links. The addresses of web pages are recorded as uniform resource locators (URLs), transmitted by hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP), and written in hypertext markup language (HTML). Programs that allow you to use the web are available for most operating systems. Powerful on line search engines make it relatively easy to find information on the web. Browsing through the web--"net surfing"--is both easy and enjoyable. Contributing to the web is not difficult, and the web opens up new possibilities for electronic publishing and electronic journals.

The World Wide Web and Emerging Internet Resource Discovery Standards for Scholarly Literature

Abstract: The World Wide Web (WWW) HAS BECOME an important medium for the dissemination of scholarly information. This article discusses the technology of the Web and why it is likely to have a lasting impact on the dissemination of scholarship. The role of the display and indexing of structured text is discussed, particularly the relationship of HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), as well as problems associated with matching the needs of session-based document retrieval and the stateless architecture of the Web. The relationship of existing bibliographic description standards to emerging standards for the description of networked information resources is described.

The state of HTML

Abstract: In the brief history of the World Wide Web (WWW), much has changed. Millions of web pages have been published in a very short time. Next to the Web content, the most dynamic aspect of the WWW is the development of HyperText Markup Language (HTML). This paper explores the various version of HTML and gives a status report on HTML standards development.

Cartography Resources on the World Wide Web

Abstract: This paper provides an overview of recent developments on the World Wide Web from a cartographer's perspective. The first section briefly describes how the Web came to be and discusses the conceptual models that control the Web's functionality. The second section of the paper is an overview of a variety of cartographic Web resources (ranging from federal to commercial to educational) that are available on the Web. These sites offer tremendous resources for use in the classroom, research, and even leisure activities. The paper concludes with examples of two Internet projects that make extensive use of cartographic materials: the Geograpliy Virh1al Department (out of the University of Texas Austin) and the Bosnian Virtual Fieldtrip (out of George Mason University).

Implementing the Learning Web

Abstract: The implementation of a system to support a learning web (Norrie and Gaines, 1995) involves the coordinated support of a wide range of knowledge processes in a learning community. These include the discourse processes among members of the community, the dissemination of knowledge through documents and multimedia resources, the elicitation, sharing and comparison of conceptual structures, and the exploration of the consequences of knowledge through simulation and application. Currently the Internet provides excellent tools supporting discourse such as email list servers, and supporting multimedia resource dissemination through World Wide Web (web) servers and browsers. Mediator, a prototype learning web implementation, involves integrating these existing tools with new ones supporting the collaborative modeling of conceptual structures through questionnaires, concept maps and repertory grids. This article describes the Mediator architecture and its implementation on the web, and describes and exemplifies the use of existing facilities and the additional tools.

Object Oriented Animation on the World Wide Web

Abstract: This report describes our attempt to add animation as another data type to be used on the World Wide Web. Our current network infrastructure, the Internet, is incapable of carrying video and audio streams for them to be used on the web for presentation purposes. In contrast, object-oriented animation proves to be efficient in terms of network resource requirements. We defined an animation model to support drawing-based and frame-based animation. We also extended the HyperText Markup Language in order to include this animation mode. BU-NCSA Mosanim, a modified version of the NCSA Mosaic for X(v2.5), is available to demonstrate the concept and potentials of animation in presentations and interactive game playing over the web.

Integrating Oberon Resources into the World-Wide Web

Abstract: The World-Wide Web (WWW) is currently one of the most popular network information systems on the Intemet The range of items that may be accessed within the WWW includes hypertext documents, images, sound pattems and video sequences. To identify these items, their location and the method to acquire them, a generic naming scheme is provided. Besides the identification of these items it allows to specify and parametrize activities that construct items “on-the-fly”. Hence, aspects of interaction may be introduced to the information system.
