project in Switzerland and were later extended by a number of groups, most notably by
the National Center for SuperComputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of
Illinois. These WWW protocols were originally developed to improve communications
over the Internet by providing the ability to access and display web-client
hardware-independent documents that not only contained ASCII text but that also
contained pictures, graphics, and voice and video elements. In addition to accessing
documents, the WWW protocols can also be used to provide document searching
facilities and also interaction with user-written or vendor-provided servers.
