  • World Wide Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WEBDAV): an Introduction1
    World Wide Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WEBDAV): An Introduction1 E. James Whitehead, Jr. Dept. of Information and Computer Science University of California, Irvine Irvine, CA 92697-3425 Email: [email protected] Phone: (714) 824-4121 Fax: (714) 824-1715 1.0 Introduction Today the typical use of the World Wide Web is to browse information in a largely read- only manner. However, this was not the original conception of the Web; as early as 1990, a prototype Web editor and browser was operational on the Next platform, demonstrating how Web content could be read and written. Unfortunately, most of the world never saw this editor/browser, instead developing their view of the Web from the widely distributed text-based line mode browser. When NCSA Mosaic was developed, it improved the line mode browser by adding a graphical user interface and inline images, but had no provision for editing. As Mosaic 2.4 reached critical mass in 1993-4, “publish/browse” became the dominant model for the Web. However, the original view of the Web as a readable and writable collaborative medium was not lost. In 1995 two browser/editor products were released: NaviPress by NaviSoft and FrontPage by Vermeer. These products began developing a market for authoring tools which allow a user to edit HyperText Markup Language (HTML) [Ragg97] pages remotely, taking advantage of the ability to work at a distance over the Internet. In early 1996, NaviSoft and Vermeer were purchased by America Online and Microsoft respec- tively, presaging major corporate interest in Web distributed authoring technology.
