Difference (from prior major revision) (no other diffs)

Changed: 3c3

The Web, proper noun, is distinguished from a web, common noun, in that the Web encompasses the entire Internet. Other webs exist on private networks that may or may not be part of the Internet.

Just as one can distinguish between "an internet" and "the Internet", one can refer to "a web" as a collection of sites providing information by the means described here (perhaps on an intranet?), and "the Web", which is the single, large, interconnected web available on nearly all public Internet sites.
