A Department Website - Terminology

You may not be familiar with some of the terminology used in these project pages, so here are brief definitions of a few key words:

Website: The pages and files seen on the computer screen, which provide specific information, such as for a school geography department. A website has a unique address, and it may be accessed on the internet, on an intranet, or on an extranet.

Internet: The means for supporting website/s which may have unrestricted access. It can be accessed anywhere with a phone line.

Intranet: The means for supporting a website/s with access restricted to a certain place, such as a school.

Extranet: The means for supporting a website/s with access restricted to a certain place, such as a school, which allows it to be accessed EXTERNALLY, such as a school geography department website, which can be accessed at home.


Please get in touch if there are any more definitions you would like adding to the list.
