Conclusions

Conclusions, at this stage, seem to be premature.

Recommendations to W3C

  1. Develop Corba compliant API for LibWWW?
  2. Define formalized object models for the Web?

As concerns (1), the general feeling was that in its current state CORBA does not provide an answer. As an alternative, ILU was mentioned.

Very surprisingly, a vote on (2) resulted in a majority in favor of a more formal approach. However, not in a prescriptive fashion but rather to better understand the nature of the Web and the basic needs of application developers.
