JPEG
Joint Photographic Experts Group, a graphical format that is widely used in WWW pages. It is particularly well suited to photographs and 3D or VRML images where there is a continuous range of colors or shades. It is a lossy format that can be reduced in file size by reducing the detail in the image. JPEG files use a .jpg or less commonly, .jpeg or .jpe extension. See also GIF.

JUGhead
Searchable index software that can be applied to a an organization’s gopher menus similar to VERONICA. It supposedly was named for its inventor, Rhett Jones, as Jonzy’s Universal Gopher Hierarchy Excavation And Display. But since the search tools archie and VERONICA came before it, the name obviously preceded the acronym. See archie and VERONICA.
