Chapter 8: The Web-Enabled Enterprise
ANSWER: Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the most common programming language for creating
webpages and other information viewable in a web browser. It determines the look and location of
text, pictures, animations, and other elements on a webpage. Extensible Markup Language (XML)
enables the creation of various types of data. It is most often used not for determining the appearance
of visual elements on a webpage but to convey the meaning or content of the data. The World Wide
Web Consortium (W3C), the organization responsible for web standards, has combined the two
markup languages HTML and XML into a standard called Extensible Hypertext Markup Language
(XHTML).
Every file displayed on the Web is coded with a markup language such as HTML or XML. Simply put,
markup languages provide a system of standardized “tags” that format elements of a document,
including text, graphics, and sound. Formatting includes opening and closing tags preceding and
following a part of the document, such as <b> at the start of bold text, and </b> at the end of bold text.
Some tags are marked to link to another page either at the same site or another site, and others create
links to e-mail addresses. Browsers interpret HTML and XML tags and display the text in the fashion
defined by the tags, or allow other software to pick up data from the page and process it or copy it into
the proper place in a database.
As in HTML, tags are used in XML to mark data elements. However, XML tags define “what it is,”
as opposed to “how it looks.”
ANSWER: File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a common way of transmitting files from one computer to another.
Every time you download a file from a website or attach files to e-mail, you are using an FTP
application. The file transmitted can be of any type: text, graphics, animation, or sound. FTP is
embedded in browsers and therefore is “transparent” to the users. A separate FTP utility can also be
used, with many available as shareware, to manage transmitting files.
Businesses use FTP to place files on a server for sharing among professionals. FTP is also useful for
placing files on a server that hosts a website. It’s also convenient for retrieving large files that might
exceed an email system’s size limits. For example, authors can place large chapter and figure files in
a folder on a server maintained by their publisher. Manufacturers often place full assembly and
maintenance manuals or videos at their Web site so customers can download them any time. New
methods have replaced FTP sites such as cloud drives, online backup tools (such as Carbonite), and
groupware productivity products (such as Wiggio). However, FTP sites still remain popular due to
the inexpensive and simple nature of file transfers.
ANSWER: The importance of blogs to commercial organizations is primarily to find out what blog participants
think and say about the organizations. Many organizations use special software that combs blogs for
postings that mention the organizations’ names. PR people then read the content and relay feedback to
others in the organization as needed. For example, an anonymous blogger boasted that he could break
Kryptonite bicycle locks with a pen. Within a week the posted item was mentioned in The New York
Times, and Kryptonite recalled the locks. Some companies offer blog mining applications, which is
software that combs blogs, identifies company names, and automatically tracks discussions. Such tools
can turn blog data into useful market research information.

ANSWER: Online advertising is done mainly in two ways: through search engines and through banners. Although
advertising on the web is not aimed just at consumers, most of it is directed to them. However, selling
and buying web ads occurs between businesses: the website operators sell advertising “real estate” to
another business. Regardless of media, advertisers are interested in reaching as many people who
might buy their goods or services as possible. On the web, advertisers are interested in what they call
“traffic volume,” that is, the number of people who come across their messages. As the number of
people who log on to the web increases, so does advertiser interest in this medium. Internet World
Stats estimated that of the 7 billion people in the world today, 2.4 billion—34.3 percent—used the
Internet in 2012 (“Internet Usage Statistics,” 2012). With this traffic volume, advertisers are willing to
spend a lot of money on web advertising. The research firm GroupM estimated that about $84.8 billion
was spent on web advertising in 2011, a 16 percent increase from 2010 (Hof, 2012; O’Leary, 2012).
They also predicted web advertising spending will grow to $98.2 billion in 2012, accounting for 19
percent of all measured media spending (O’Leary, 2012).
ANSWER: The purpose of a virtual private server is to create the impression that the client maintains its own
server. Virtual private server technology enables one server to be virtually split into many addressable
servers, each for a different client and with its own domain name. This option is usually less
expensive than renting a dedicated server, while enjoying the same benefits, including full control of
the content of the virtual server.

Deezes dorps heeft niets afzonderlijks met die van de Oude Loosdrecht:
er zijn, dat ligt te begrijpen is, even lang al te Oud-Loosdrecht, Pruissen
geinquartierd geweest, en dezelven hebben er grouwzaame plonderingen
aangericht; vooral op het Buiten van de Ambachtsvrouwe, gelijk wij onder
Oud-Loosdrecht reeds aangetekend hebben.
Logementen zijn in de Nieuwe Loosdrecht niet, en slechts eene herberg
van eenig aanzien dat tevens eene uitspanning is; hier en daar vindt men
een pleisterplaatsjen van geringen stand.

Van Mijnden, hetzelve paalt met zijn rechtsgebied ten noorden aan
de Drecht, onder onze beschrijving van Oud-Loosdrecht reeds
genoemd, en welk water uit Loosdrecht naar de Vecht stroomt, en
Mijnden, van die plaats afscheidt: ten oosten heeft Mijnden de
Nieuwe-Loosdrecht, ten zuiden het Gerecht Breukelen-veen, dat
onder de Provincie van Utrecht behoort, en ten westen wordt het
door de rivier de Vecht voornoemd afgescheiden van dat gedeelte
van Loenen het welk onder de gemelde Provincie behoort.
STICHTING en GROOTTE.
Van den aanleg of de stichting des dorps of van het Ambacht zijn
even weinige berichten voorhanden; men zou intusschen mogen
gissen, dat het van een zeer ouden datum kan weezen, want het
Huis te Mijnden, (waarvan nader onder ons artijkel
bijzonderheden,) wil men dat reeds in den jaare 1227 gesticht
zoude weezen. Wat het tweede gedeelte van dat artijkel in onze
gewoone orde van beschrijven betreft; Mijnden is niet groot; het
bevat, volgends de voorhanden zijnde quohieren der verpondingen,
slechts 296 morgen en 100 roeden lands; het spreekt derhalven van
zelf, dat ’er ook niet veele huizen onder kunnen behooren: op de
vroegere verpondingslijsten vindt men er niet meer dan 3 voor
aangetekend; doch op de lijsten van den jaare 1732, staan er 20
huizen voor, waaronder eenige buitenplaatsen, en sedert zijn
dezelven weinig vermeerderd.
Het wapen van dit Ambacht zijn vijf goudene, en vier zwarte
dwarsbalken, over het kruis doorsneden met twee roode balken.
Deeze zijn alhier geene anderen dan het Rechthuis, waarin tevens
herberg gehouden wordt, en niets bijzonders heeft der beschrijvinge
waardig: het staat aan de Mijnder-sluis.
En wat betreft de
WERELDLIJKE REGEERING.
„Het klein getal van ingezetenen, gaf in den jaare 1567, aanleiding
tot eene schikking, waarbij vastgesteld werd, dat in de
Ambachtsheerlijkheid van Mijnden, recht en gerechtigheid zoude
geoefend worden, bij den Schout en drie gezworene Heemraaden,
die aldaar jaarlijks gemagtigd werden, tot schouwing van de
dijkaadjen en wateringen: deeze Heemraaden zouden als
Schepenen den eed doen, in handen van den Ambachtsheere:
volgends het verzoekschrift tot deeze schikking, welke door den
Hove van Holland werd goedgekeurd, geschiedde dezelve, om dat
de Gebuuren, die met den Schout te recht moesten zitten, maar elf

welken alle vaartuigen van de Loosdrechten naar de Vecht moeten,
is, ten oosten deezer rivier, een ruig begraasde puinheuvel, die,
gelijk men nog eenigzins kan ontdekken, met graften omvangen is
geweest: deeze is het eenig overblijfzel van het huis te Mijnden, dat
vrij groot schijnt geweest te zijn, en, volgends de gedaante der
steenen, die men hier weleer vondt, doch merkelijk verminderen en
verdwijnen, eene hooge rondheid moet gehad hebben; men wil dat
het in den jaare 1227 gebouwd zij, door Ægidius, één der Heeren uit
den Huize Van Amstel: ook is het vrij klaar dat de Heeren Van
