Abstract :
The World Wide Web (WWW) has come a long way from its early roots. The web has transformed itself from being a static data store to a highly dynamic and interactive medium. Early public websites were primarily an enhanced file system which allowed users to browse to specific files or data items. Since then, we have witnessed newer technologies and paradigms such as the original Web (Web 1.0), Web 2.0, and Semantic Web, among others. There has been a drastic change in the ways to access the WWW also - starting from the early text-only ones to the present day ones which provide media-enhanced and rich content to the user. In recent years, there has also been a sharp growth in the use of mobile and hand-held devices to access the web. Such changes in the structure of the web and nature of clients calls for a change in the way content is presented and distributed. There is also need for on-demand content which can be downloaded if and when needed. This paper addresses this need by proposing a number of changes in the way web content is organized, presented and distributed. These proposals can lay the foundation for a more streamlined and structured web content. It can also be a big asset to search engines and web crawler as our proposal will lead to a reduction in the amount of web traffic that is due to crawlers checking for new or updated content. Similarly, mobile devices can take advantage of our proposal for on-demand media content. It will also lead to more security as our framework separates a website´s main content from its advertising content.
