  1. How the World Wide Web works Barend Köbben International Institute for Geo-information Science and Earth Observation (ITC)

  2. History of the Web • (1983) ARPAnet, USEnet en EUnet adopt TCP/IP communication: birth of the Internet • many protocols run “on top of” TCP/IP (telnet, ftp, smpt) • because of IP-adressing all networks can can be seen as one big network • (1991) definition of the WWW-protocols: • HTTP: HyperText Transfer Protocol • HTML: HyperText Markup Language (1969) start of ARPAnet

  3. DNS aliasing SURFNET admin nl-domain: xx.xx.nl ITC router admin ITC-domain: xx.itc.nl NVK server 192.92.92.70 IP-adressing & DNS (domain name servers) INTERNET www.kartografie.nl =kartoweb.itc.nl

  4. Can I have that file? Here it is... HTTP communication • Client-server architecture Client Server Webserver (IIS, Netscape, HTTPd) Browser (Explorer, Netscape, Opera)

  5. HTML code • <P>Hello<B>World</B><HR>How are<I>you</I>?<P><A HREF= ”otherfile.html”>Click here</a> to go. • Looks like: • Hello World • How are you? • Click here to go.

  6. PUT file.gif PUT file.html GET file.gif GET file.html file.gif <img src = “file.gif”><br><i>STATIC </i> MAP Standard configuration http:// www.itc.nl /file.html STATIC MAP

  7. Constraints • Standard configuration offers: • HTTP communication-protocol • HTML–, GIF– en JPEG–formats • Static maps only • No interactivity (except “clickable maps”) • Overcoming the constraints: • Only possible by adding data-formats and protocols • Possible loss of platform independency
