Reuse of Current Technologies

Object-Oriented Programming from CORBA

• The Interface Definition Language to specify Web resources
• The Common Object Request Broker Architecture to support Web resources modelized by objects

Hypermedia Navigation from the WWW

• Web browsers as a single uniform user interface to navigate through objects
• The Uniform Resource Locators to access objects and to apply operations on them
• The HyperText Markup Language to describe the object state and generate Graphical User Interfaces on objects

Current Implementation

• CGI in Web servers as a gateway between the Web and objects
