In early '95, Web was established as a new pervasive information technology infrastructure. Several sites, including NPAC, initiated in-house experiments to adopt and extend base Web technologies for intranet (enterprise) level base computing support. We based RL CIV on Web Technologies
At NPAC, we prototyped WebTools (a CGI-based PDA support for content authoring, document management and e-mail handling), Web-Oracle frontends for USENET groups and other (educational) databases, and early Web interfaces to VOD services.
Mid'95 brought the first wave of Web technology explosion, including Java language, VMRL protocol and Netscape public offering.
At the end of '95, there werea series of software industry coalitions (Netscape plugins, Java licenses) and the '96'Web product announcements.
