Foil 2 Abstract of An Introduction to the Document Object Model and Related Issues

From The Document Object Model - Universal Access - Other Objects - CORBA XML Jini JavaScript etc. Tango Seminar to DoD Modernization MSRC -- April 6 1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 We describe some concepts that will underlie the development of emerging distributed object based systems
2 What is the Web Document Object Model and why is Dynamic HTML (DHTML) intriguing and XML critical
3 Why is JavaScript non trivial as the language to capture changes in document object structure and to choose appropriate rendering
  • We stress constraints of cross disability interfaces
4 Where do CORBA and Jini fit in?
5 We define the Pragmatic Object Web as the emerging synthesis of multiple object models
6 We describe the importance of the Web as a source of information objects and as a mechanism for invoking general server side objects
7 We stress the important role of both Asynchronous and Synchronous collaboration and the web and web-based collaboration allows one to implement it.
8 We use ASC Gateway project as an example of hybrid object systems
