Weaving a Web for electronic information services

Fred Kwakkel

The World Wide Web, a wide-area hyper-media information retrieval initiative from CERN aiming to give universal access to a large universe of documents, is expanding. Many universities, research centers and companies around the globe are in the process of offering their electronic information services through this World Wide Web. Examples of such services are project information files, on-line telephone directories and electronics versions of research publications and PR brochures.

To enable system administrators and system managers to contribute to the World Wide Web and provide a hyper-media interface to their electronic information services, I explain in this talk how to set up and maintain a World Wide Web server, and how to create a netwerk of hypertext documents to provide users with an uniform interface to different electronic information services with the additional value of hyper text navigation and hyper media presentation.
