Abstract of An Introduction to the Document Object Model and Related Issues
We describe some concepts that will underlie the development of emerging distributed object based systems
What is the Web Document Object Model and why is Dynamic HTML (DHTML) intriguing and XML critical
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
Where do CORBA and Jini fit in?
We define the Pragmatic Object Web as the emerging synthesis of multiple object models
We describe the importance of the Web as a source of information objects and as a mechanism for invoking general server side objects
We stress the important role of both Asynchronous and Synchronous collaboration and the web and web-based collaboration allows one to implement it.
We use ASC Gateway project as an example of hybrid object systems
