15. 3. Glossary
November 30, 2018

16. Glossary (1) Accepted: An accepted connection.
Browser: Any program used to view material prepared for the World Wide Web e.g. Mosaic, Netscape.
Content Database: the database containing the content from which the reports are generated.
Domain Name: a symbolic name for a computer, that can be translated from a nameserver into a computers formal numeric Internet address (IP address). Domain names let you reference Internet sites without the need for a numerical address.
Download: Transfer of a file from a remote computer to a local computer.
Error: A blocked connection.
Go to Data: leads you to the detailed data feeding the graph you are viewing.
Go to Graph: leads you to the graph fed by the detailed data you are viewing.
Hit: A single action on the server as it appears in the log file. Each file requested by a visitor registers as a hit. There can be several hits on each web page. While the volume of hits reflects the amount of server traffic, it is not an accurate reflection of the number of pages viewed.
KB: Short for kilobytes. A kilobyte is 1024 bytes.
IP Address: The numerical Internet protocol address of a computer on the Internet. Every computer on the Internet has a unique numerical address.
LAN: Local Area Network.

17. Glossary (2)
MIME: Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions, a scheme that lets electronic mail messages contain mixed media (sound, video, image and text). The World Wide Web uses MIME content types to specify the type of data contained in a file or being sent from an HTTP server to a client.
Page View: One instance of a user accessing a page on the World Wide Web. Potentially, any static or dynamic web content may be defined as a page by a Security Reporting Center System Admin.
Site: A location on the World Wide Web comprising one or more related pages that are owned or managed by the same individual, company, or organization. A site may be the central access point for a group of Web pages or a group of files available for download, as with an FTP site. It is usually identified by the Web address of its central access page, the home page.
User Session: The session of activity that a user with a unique IP address spends on a Web site during a specified period of time. The number of user sessions on a site is used in measuring the amount of traffic a web site gets. The site administrator determines what the time frame of a user session will be (e.g. 30 minutes). If the visitor comes back to the site within that time period, it is still considered one user session, because any number of visits within that 30 minutes will only count as one session. If the visitor returns to the site after the allotted time period has expired (e.g. after an hour from the initial visit), then it is counted as a separate user session. Note that in Net Report, a user with two windows open, will not be counted twice.
Visit: A session of activity, including all hits, for one user or a Web or FTP Site, or for one user of a category.
