Objectives (1 of 2) • Differentiate between the Internet and the World Wide Web • List at least three application protocols from the TCP/IP suite • Explain the directory structure of a given URL • Explain what IIS is • Demonstrate how to install IIS • Explain what Internet Services Manager is for • Demonstrate how to create a simple web page Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 12
Objectives (2 of 2) • Explain the difference between a search engine and a subject guide • Describe how web content is indexed • Explain the role of a Meta tag • Demonstrate how double quotes can help narrow a search • Explain what Boolean operators are and list three • List at least two clues that can be used to determine the validity of a web site • Define portal Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 12
Introduction • The Internet and the World Wide Web are not the same • The World Wide Web is the multimedia portion of the Internet • In 2000 there were more than three million people worldwide using the Internet Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 12

The Internet • A network of networks • Began in 1969 • ARPAnet (Advanced Research Projects Agency) • No central authority • Therefore, impossible to state the precise size • The Internet is not free just because you do not pay for it Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 12
The World Wide Web • A subset of the Internet consisting of all computers with hypertext or hypermedia documents • These documents contain references (links) to other documents which may be on a different computer anywhere in the world • Began in 1991 at the European Particle Physics Laboratory (CERN) in Switzerland Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 12
Internet Protocols • TCP/IP: (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) • Suite of protocols to allow multiple platforms to communicate • HTTP: (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) • Most common protocol used on the Internet for Web pages • FTP: (File Transfer Protocol) • Allows files to be transferred over the Internet Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 12
http://www.annex.com/southwest/museum.htm Document Path (Directory or Folder) Internet Address (Web site) Means of access, HyperText Transfer Protocol How do you get there from here?Uniform Resource Locator (URL) Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 12
Directory Structures on a Web Server • You can guess the URL using the general form: www.company.com • Examples: • www.microsoft.com • www.nba.com • www.dell.com • www.whitehouse.gov • www.miami.edu Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 12
What Makes a Web Server a Web Server? • Install Internet Information Services to make your server a Web server • Allows you to manage Internet services, such as: • FTP • SMTP Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 12
Become a Webmaster • Manage Internet Services • Develop Content for the Web • Set up Web databases Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 12
Using HTML • Hypertext markup Language • Write it, or • Use an Editor • Does not matter which is used, but you have to know it to fix it! Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 12
HTML Structure • <HTML> </HTML> • Must be at beginning and end of the Web page • Head: <Head> </Head> • Includes: Basic document info • Other HTML: • <Title></Title> • <Body BGCOLOR= “Beige”> • <H1></H1> • <P> Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 12
Finding Resources Effectively:Search Engines • A program that systematically searches the Web for documents on a specific topic • Uses a key word or words as a query • Several search engines are available • Each search engine has its own database • No search engine is best • Uses Boolean (logical) operators • Returns “hits” or documents once search has been submitted Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 12
Search Tips • Use the Search button on the Internet Explorer Toolbar • Try multiple search engines on one query • Be aware of logical operators • AND, • OR, and • NOT • Search on a concept: e.g., “first ladies” rather than “Eleanor Roosevelt” • Set Bookmarks/Favorites Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 12
Boolean Operators • Specify Boolean operators • And - Includes all findings of both key words • Or - Looks for only one of the specified key words • Not - Allows you to exclude certain key words • Use multiple search engines • Read online help about search criteria used for a particular search engine Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 12
Other Resources • Portals • Libraries • Online Magazines and Journals • Miscellaneous Resources Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 12
Summary • The Internet is a network of networks • URL is located in the Address Box • Hypertext and hypermedia contain links to other documents • Connect through ISP or LAN • Search Engines are the tools to find information • Learn to use keywords for searching • Use multiple search engines • Searches are based on Boolean operators • HTML Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 12
