Web

A short name for the World Wide Web.

WebDAV (World Wide Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning)

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard set of platform-independent extensions to HTTP that allows users to collaboratively edit and manage files on remote Web servers. WebDAV features XML properties on metadata; locking, which prevents authors from overwriting each other's changes; namespace manipulation; and remote file management.

WebDAV servlet

Provides native WebDAV support. DocuShare 6.0 supports the current WebDAV specifications.

Weblog

See BLOG.

Web site

A site (location) on the World Wide Web. Each Web site contains a home page, which is the first document users see when they enter the site. The site might also contain additional documents and files. Each site is owned and managed by an individual, company or organization.

Wiki

A collaborative Web site comprises the perpetual collective work of many authors. Similar to a blog in structure and logic, a wiki allows anyone to edit, delete or modify content that has been placed on the Web site using a browser interface, including the work of previous authors. In contrast, a blog, typically authored by an individual, does not allow visitors to change the original posted material, only add comments to the original content.

Workflow

Basic workflow module to route documents through an approval or review cycle with other DocuShare users. Uses Javascript that must be enabled in the DocuShare server and in the client browser. Also known as Document Routing.

Workspace

A workspace provides a shared area for project and team collaboration. From a single page within DocuShare you and other workspace members can gather and manage shared content, access collaboration tools to facilitate your work, and communicate with each other.

World Wide Web

A system of Internet servers that support specially formatted documents. The documents are formatted in HTML that supports links to other documents, as well as graphics, audio, and video files. This means you can jump from one document to another simply by clicking on hot spots. Not all Internet servers are part of the World Wide Web.
