| rdfs:comment | - Streaming is a method of data delivery and playback used on the World Wide Web. Prior to streaming, audio, video and multimedia files that were included in World Wide Web pages were downloaded from the server computer as part of the Web page and played by the client computer when the download was complete. For example, if a Web page included a large video file, the client computer would download the entire file before playing it. The download process could take a very long time, which of course, makes for a slow browsing experience.

Streaming, in contrast to downloading, allows the real-time playing of a work through a constant link maintained between the provider’s server and the client. A replay is not possible without streaming the work again.
