The document provides an outline for a presentation on the architecture of the web. The presentation will include a brief tour of web standards, discussion of conceptual aspects of the web, and an ongoing project about better online marketing. It notes that the traditional definition of the web as a system of interlinked hypertext documents is now outdated, and proposes an updated definition of the web as a system of data, people and software connected via the internet and mobile networks.
