home page n. 1. One's personal billboard on the World Wide Web. The term `home page' is perhaps a bit misleading because home directories and physical homes in {RL} are private, but home pages are designed to be very public. 2. By extension, a WWW repository for information and links related to a project or organization. Compare {home box}. | |

home page relating to an individual or institution, or possibly a subject area. This often has a {URL} consisting of just a {hostname}, e.g. http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/. All other pages on a {web site} are usually accessible by following {links} from the home page. 2. The {web page} a user's {web browser} is configured to load each time it is started. This will typically default to the {home page} (sense 1) of the organisation that produced or distributed the browser. (1999-03-21) |
