Abstract
This chapter discusses the Web delivery of interMedia multimedia data. Multimedia data must be delivered to a program that is capable of exhibiting it because this data cannot be exhibited in text. The most used technology for computer-based multimedia data is the Web. The chapter presents various techniques to get one's multimedia onto the Web from a database. The chapter also explains the way multimedia data is handled by standard programs over the Web. Web browsers use Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to communicate with Web servers. This protocol is used to deliver text, multimedia data, and other information to and from a browser on request. HTTP is also used in other programs to obtain data. Multimedia data that are delivered to browsers are referenced by URLs.
