Web Technologies Terms Continued:

The interrelationship among key web technology concepts can be understood as how they
interact and support the functioning of the web.

1. World Wide Web (WWW):


The World Wide Web is a system of interconnected documents and resources accessed via
the internet. It is the platform where web technologies work together to deliver information
and services to users.

2. Hypertext Markup Language (HTML):


HTML is the standard language used to create and structure web pages. It provides the
framework for displaying text, images, links, and multimedia on the web. Web browsers
interpret HTML to render web pages for users.
Relationship: HTML files are stored on web servers and are accessed by browsers using the
World Wide Web.

3. Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP):


HTTP is the protocol used to transfer HTML documents and other resources over the web. It
defines the rules for communication between a web browser and a web server.
Relationship: HTTP is the foundation of data exchange on the World Wide Web, enabling
users to access web pages via URLs.

4. Hyperlinks:
Hyperlinks are elements in a web page (defined using HTML) that link to other web pages,
resources, or locations on the web.
Relationship: Hyperlinks utilize URLs to direct users to other web pages or resources,
making navigation possible across the World Wide Web.

5. Web Server:
A web server is a computer system that hosts websites and delivers web pages to users upon
request. It responds to HTTP requests from web browsers.
Relationship: The web server stores HTML files, images, and other resources, which are
retrieved and displayed by web browsers.

6. Web Page:
A web page is a single document on the web, written in HTML and accessed via a web
browser. It is the basic unit of content on the World Wide Web.
Relationship: Web pages are stored on web servers, linked via hyperlinks, and accessed using
web browsers over HTTP.

7. File Transfer Protocol (FTP):


FTP is a protocol used to transfer files between a client and a server over the internet. It
allows users to upload or download files to and from a web server.
Relationship: FTP is used to upload HTML files and other resources to web servers or
download them for local use.

8. Web Browser:
A web browser is a software application that retrieves, interprets, and displays web pages. It
acts as the user interface to the World Wide Web.
Relationship: Web browsers use URLs to locate web pages and HTTP to request and display
content from web servers.
9. Uniform Resource Locator (URL):
A URL is the unique address of a web page or resource on the World Wide Web. It specifies
the location of the resource and the protocol used to access it (e.g., HTTP, HTTPS, FTP).
Relationship: URLs are used in hyperlinks and web browsers to locate and retrieve web pages
or files from web servers.

10. Upload and Download:


Upload: The process of sending files from a local device to a web server, often using FTP.
Download: The process of retrieving files from a web server to a local device, typically via
HTTP.
Relationship: Uploading is essential for publishing content to web servers, while
downloading allows users to access and save content locally from the web.

Summary of Interrelationships:
1. World Wide Web serves as the platform where web technologies work together.
2. HTML structures web pages, which are stored on web servers.
3. Web browsers use HTTP to request web pages and display them.
4. Hyperlinks and URLs facilitate navigation between resources.
5. FTP allows files to be uploaded to or downloaded from a web server.
6. Users interact with the web by uploading and downloading files, accessing web pages,
and navigating via hyperlinks.

These concepts collectively enable the seamless functionality of the internet and the
World Wide Web.
