A collection of information, consisting of
one or more Web resources, intended to be rendered simultaneously,
and identified by a single URI. More specifically, a Web page
consists of a
Web
resource with zero, one, or more embedded
Web
resources intended to be rendered as a single unit, and
referred to by the URI of the one Web resource which is not
embedded.
Note: The components of a Web page can
reside at different network locations. The location of the Web
page, however, is determined by the URI identifying the
page.
Note: The scope of a Web page is limited to
the collection of Web resources which are displayed simultaneously
by requesting the Web page's URI. The components of a Web page
actually rendered in a page view is client-dependent.
