+WebDAV stands for "Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning". It is
+a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol which allows users to
+collaboratively edit and manage files on remote web servers.
+
+mod_dav is an Apache module to provide DAV capabilities (RFC 2518) for the
+Apache web server. mod_dav currently implements a Class 1 and Class 2 DAV
+server. This means that it provides all the basic DAV facilities for
+manipulating resources (files) on the target web server, along with
+manipulating properties on those resources. In addition, it handles the
+(un)locking of resources so that clients can have exclusive access to
+modify resources.
