W3C Architecture of the World Wide Web, First Edition Document Released
Abstract
The World Wide Web uses relatively simple technologies with sufficient scalability, efficiency and utility that they have resulted in a remarkable information space of interrelated resources, growing across languages, cultures, and media. In an effort to preserve these properties of the information space as the technologies evolve, this architecture document discusses the core design components of the Web. They are identification of resources, representation of resource state, and the protocols that support the interaction between agents and resources in the space. We relate core design components, constraints, and good practices to the principles and properties they support.

Google & Keyhole - Infinite Flights Over Earth Surface
“To possess the world in the form of images is, precisely, to reexperience the unreality and remoteness of the real.”
Susan Sontag. On Photography
An incredible state of overexcitement and the feeling of “tour de force” it’s yet to be cognized by consciousness, and I perceive that I’m not the only one living this experience. Google’s approach to technology and tools & services it has brought has always been of great help and inspiration, the latest among these is truly fascinating. Keyhole is indeed impressive, the flights are trully breathtaking. Combination of advanced graphics technologies such as 3Dlabs Wildcat VP990 Pro with high speed network connection makes this tool increasingly surprising. Zoom to street level capability, just check the streets of Las Vegas, zoom Niagra Falls, Israel , Haiti , Florida , New York. Space travel , time travel ...at 2 meter resolution or 0.25 meter? Aerial photography of the whole earth transfixes imagination to unimanginable magnitudes . The earth in an eternal zenith on the surfaces of our monitor's screens is an endeavor in a true Google techno-spirit.
CoIncidentaly somehow it was represented in a picture created about 6 month ago , when I discovered Chris Ewels dreams-of-fuller;
