Homework 1 - csci 4964/comm 4965 - Web Science6
Due: Thursday, Jan 31
Reading: Technical Arch WWW Sections 1 and 2.
- For each of the following Web resources, find it's URI, and for each URI: identify the URI scheme, the server it is being sent to, the hierarchical body, the fragment ID if there is one, and any "extra" internal stuff if there is any
- The syllabus for the class
- The Amazon Page for the paperback version of the book "Weaving the Web"
- The CSD forum page that points to this assignment
- The most specific URI for Section 2.4 of the most recent version of the Technical Architecture for the WWW recommendation
- What is a "web page"?
- Find a URI on the Web that contains more than just hierarchical information. List the URI, describe what is represented by it, and describe what you think happens at the server with the additional info (this can be just your best guess based on the "text" of the URI).
- The Architecture document has several versions listed on its title page: this version, most recent version, previous version. Using the terminology of Section 2 of the document (URI aliasing, URI collision, etc.) what is going on here? Is this document consistent with its own recommended best practices and principles? Why or why not?
- In English, the term "sic" is used to indicate an error in usage that is being quoted (More info on "sic"). Why is it used in section 2.2.2.2 of the TAWWW Rec?
