Abstract:
This paper presents an environment for publishing information on the
World-Wide Web (WWW). Previous work has pointed out that the explosive
growth of the WWW is in part due to the ease with which information
can be made available to Web users. Yet this property can have negative
impacts on the ability to find appropriate information as well as on the
integrity of the information published. We present a prototype environment
that facilitates the publishing of documents on the Web by automatically
generating meta-information about the document, communicating this to a
local scalable architecture, e.g WHOIS++, verifying the document's HTML
compliance, maintaining referential integrity within the local database,
and placing the document in a Web accessible area. Additionally, maintenance
and versioning facilities are provided. This paper first discusses an
idealized publishing environment then describes our implementation,
followed by a discussion of salient issues and future research areas.
