W3C Publishes Working Draft of Architectural Principles of the World Wide Web
W3C has released a working draft of "Architectural Principles of the World Wide Web." The Web is a networked information system; Web Architecture is the set of principles that all agents in the system follow to create the large-scale effect of a shared information space. Identification, data formats, and protocols are the main technical components of Web Architecture, but the large-scale effect depends on social behavior as well. http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2002-08-30-b.html
