The Internet consists of a huge number of computers and networks that interconnect these computers through communication links. Interconnected computers exchange information using a variety of services, such as email, gophers, and the World Wide Web.

The WWW allows a server computer system (eg a web server or website) to send graphical web pages of information to a remote client computer system. The remote client computer system can display a web page. Each resource of the WWW (ie, computer or web page) can be uniquely identified by a URL. To view a particular web page, the client computer system specifies the URL for that web page in the request (eg, HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP)). This request is forwarded to the web server that supports the web page. When the web server receives the request, the web server sends the web page to the client computer system. When the client computer system receives the web page, the client computer system displays the web page using the web browser. The web browser is a special purpose application program that enables the request of web pages and the display of web pages.

Currently, web pages are defined using the HyperText Markup Language (HTML). HTML provides a set of standard tags that define how web pages are displayed. When the user specifies the browser to display a web page, the browser sends a request to the server computer system to deliver an HTML document that defines the web page to the client computer system. When the requested HTML document is received, the browser displays the web page as specified in the HTML document. HTML documents contain various tags that control the display of text, graphics, controls, and other features. The HTML document may include URLs of server web systems or other web pages accessible on other server computer systems.

The present invention contributes to corporate and national competitiveness through the effects of cost reduction and foreign currency reduction in the purchase of raw materials and efficiency in the public sector and industry by promoting electronic commerce such as government procurement (B to G) and inter-business transactions (B to B).
