We reviewed above the most plausible near term NII services and applications. Our claim is that this vision can be accomplished most realistically in the framework of pervasive, truly open Web technologies such as WebWork and WebWindows discussed previously in Section 3. Indeed, the traditional corporate computing failed to establish even the most elementary software standard, namely the cross-platform desktop publishing system. In contrast, Web already enjoyed a smashing success in stabilizing the base electronic information service---a homepage---and continues the process of developing and disseminating more advanced computing standards such as Java based graphics user interface etc. New Web technologies fully utilize and build upon already established standards, for example NPAC develops WebTools using WebTools CASE tools, or in a similar way Sun delivers Java together with complete on-line HTML documentation for all object classes. We expect the anticipated Web technologies discussed here such as WebWork and WebWindows to continue this bootstrap process and result in software environments of unprecendented power, functionality and quality, and yet fully open and pervasive. WebWork standards for module encapsulation and intermodular communication will enable complex manufacturing processes such as required by ASOP and will effectively turn our vision into the NII reality over the period of the next 5--10 years.
