In all the training we provide we  teach the web as being non-linear.   We teach
our class participants that on the the web there is no top, no bottom.
Non-linear meaning you do not have to follow a hiearchical path to informational
resources.   You can jump from on line (resource) to another; you can go
directly to a resource if you know the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) or
address; or you can jump to specific parts of a document.

Hope this helps.
