> Conference Background
> ---------------------
> WebNet is the annual conference of the WebSociety that was founded in 1995
> out of a concern that an organisation addressing the application aspects of
> the Web and representing a lobby for Web users independent of specific
> platforms and without the domination of commercial organisations was needed.
> The WebSociety complements existing other bodies such as the Internet
> Society and W3C. The former is, by definition, more concerned with
> providing global Internet services than anything else and the latter is
> specifically oriented towards one particular system WWW. The Web Society
> and hence WebNet takes a more general view, dealing with a variety of
> modern Internet tools and their integration including services such as
> Gopher, WWW, Hyper-G, WAIS, directory services, FTP, email and cooperative
> applications and novel approaches from Hot Java to VRML, from Web compatible
> teaching modules to 3D interfaces.
