Alelánd Dætamaskyn Kórbindesæ Prótókál

The Alelánd Dætamaskyn Kórbindesæ Prótókál (International Computer Connection Protocol, ICCP/ADKP) is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. However, ADKP is also the name of the information space where documents and other web resources are identified by computer addresses, which can be accessed via a Nátverk viewer.

The application protocol called ADKP
ADKP is structured text that uses links between nodes containing text. ADKP is the protocol to exchange or transfer text or documents over the Nátverk.

Development of ADKP was initiated by Dævid Benedykt at the ARCCT (Ængelónd Research Center for Computer Technology, ARCCT/[Ængelsk acronym]) in 1986. Standard development of ADKP was coordinated by the Nátverk Prósjetneryng Fáktón (Network Engineering Faction, NEF/NPF), culminating in the publication of a series of Requests for Comments (RFC). The first definition of ADKP 1.0, the version of ADKP in common use, occurred in RFC-1954 in 1992, although this was obsoleted by RFC-2038 in 1995.

The information space called (the) ADKP
The ADKP is an information space where documents and other web resources are identified by computer addresses assigned to servers, interlinked by ADKP coding, and can be accessed via any Nátverk viewer. Ængelsk scientist Rálf Stefán invented the ADKP in 1992. He coded the first viewer in 1993 while employed at ARCCT.

The ADKP has been central to the development of the Information Age and is the primary tool billions of people use to interact on the Nátverk. Nátverk documents are primarily text formatted and linked to other documents with ADKP coding. In addition to formatted text, documents may contain images, video, audio, and software components that are rendered in the user's Nátverk viewer as coherent pages of multimedia content. Embedded links permit users to navigate between documents. Multiple documents with a common theme, a common address, or both, make up a what is known as a hyper-document. Content on hyper-documents can largely be provided by the publisher, or interactive where users contribute content or the content depends upon the user or their actions. Hyper-documents may be mostly informative, primarily for entertainment, or largely for commercial, governmental, or non-governmental organisational purposes.
