9315256哈丁该奖项将支持马赛克软件的进一步开发和相关活动，如研讨会、文件开发和互联网标准活动。Mosaic是由伊利诺伊大学香槟分校的国家超级计算应用中心开发的，建立在万维网软件内核的基础上。Mosaic是一种客户端/服务器软件，它允许使用Unix、Macintosh或PC计算机通过Internet动态浏览、检索和显示多媒体数据，使用超文本允许英文文档包含单词或图像作为指向其他信息的直接链接。点击链接的文字或图像可以透明地检索和显示新的文件和信息。检索到的文件反过来又包含到其他数据库的链接，从而创建了一个全球信息网。Mosaic迅速变得非常流行；到目前为止，该软件已分发了30多万份，每月还会有数千份。

9315256 Hardin This award will support further development of the Mosaic software and related activities such as workshops, documentation development, and internet standards activities. Mosaic was developed by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois Urbana/Champaign, building on the World Wide Web software kernal. Mosaic is client/server software which enables dynamic browsing, retrieval, and display of multimedia data over the Internet using Unix, Macintosh, or PC computers, using hypertext to allow English documents to contain words or images as direct links to additional information. Clicking on linked words or images retrieves and displays new files and information transparently. Retrieved files in turn contain links to other databanks, creating a global web of information. Mosaic has rapidly grown to be very popular; over 300,000 copies of the software have been distributed to date, with thousands more every month.
