The Internet backbone is a foundation network linked with fiber-optic cables that can support very high bandwidth. It is called a backbone because it supports all the other networks that form the Internet, just as the human backbone is the foundation of the nervous system. The Internet backbone is made up of many interconnected government, academic, commercial, and other high-capacity data routers. Several private companies operate their own Internet backbones that interconnect at NAPs. NAPs determine how traffic is routed over the Internet. Local area networks serve as localized Internet connections, and they use NAPs to connect to the Internet backbone.

Discuss how the Web uses hypermedia. ANSWER: Answers will vary. The Web organizes information by using hypermedia, meaning documents that include embedded references to audio, text, images, video, and other documents. Composed of billions of hypermedia documents, the Web constitutes a large portion of the Internet. The embedded references in hypermedia documents are called hypertext; they consist of links users can click to follow a particular thread (topic). By using hypertext links, users can access files, applications, and other computers in any order they like (unlike in paper documents) and retrieve information with the click of a button. In essence, hypertext is an approach to data management, in which data is stored in a network of nodes connected by links. Data in these nodes is accessed with an interactive browsing system, meaning the user determines the order in which information is accessed.

A tag delineates a section of the page, such as the header or body; an attribute specifies a value, such as a font color, for a page component. The most recent version is HTML6, which competes with Adobe Flash. Flash is a multimedia platform used to add animation, video, and interactivity to Web pages. A typical structure for an HTML document is as follows: (Enter the page’s description.) (Enter the page’s content.)

Typically, these browsers have menu options similar to wordprocessing programs, such as File, Edit, and Help. They also include options for viewing your browsing history, bookmarking favorite Web sites, and setting viewing preferences, as well as navigation buttons to move backward and forward in Web pages you have visited.

Briefly explain the searching process of a search engine. ANSWER: Answers will vary. When you enter a search term, the search engine uses an index to look up the term. If the term exists in the index, the search engine identifies all Web pages linked to the term. However, it needs some way of prioritizing Web pages based on how close each one is to the search term. For example, say your Aunt Emma makes picture-frame cookies and has a Web site for selling them. Someone searching on the term picture frame might see Aunt Emma’s site listed, too. Because search engines are programmed to try to differentiate different types of search requests, they can use other terms, such as posters, photos, and images, to give a higher priority to Web pages containing these additional terms, along with the search term picture frame, and a lower priority to Web pages containing terms such as cookies or baked goods along with picture frame. Search engines vary in intelligence, which is why the user can use the same search term and get different results with two different search Page 54 Chapter 7 - The Internet, Intranets, and Extranets engines.

Briefly explain the two kinds of directories on the Web. ANSWER: Answers will vary. Directories organize information into categories. There are two kinds of directories on the Web. The first is the automated, or crawlerbased, directory that search engines use; it creates indexes of search terms and collects these terms automatically by using crawlers. Google, Yahoo!, Ask, and others fall into this category. When your Web page changes, for example, these directories update their indexes and databases automatically to reflect the change. The second type of directory is the human-powered directory. If you want your Web page to be listed in a search engine’s results, you have to manually submit keywords to a human-powered directory. It does not use crawlers to collect data; instead, it relies on users to supply the data. After key words are submitted, they are indexed with search engines and can then be listed in search results. The main difference is that if your Web page changes, the directory does not have the updated content until you submit changes to the directory. Open Directory is an example of a human-powered directory.

In the context of Web applications, briefly explain software distribution. ANSWER: Answers will vary. Many vendors distribute software on the Internet as well as drivers and patches. For example, most antivirus vendors make updates available for download to keep up with new viruses and worms. Typically, patches, updates, and small programs such as new browser versions are fast and easy to download. Trying to download large programs, such as Microsoft Office Suite, takes too long, so these types of programs are not usually distributed via the Internet. Developing online copyright-protection schemes continues to be a challenge. If users need an encryption code to “unlock” software they have downloaded, making backups might not be possible.
