Abstract
This report describes an environment for developing
distributed applications on the World Wide Web (WWW). Its main
design goal is to assist non-programmers in the creation of WWW
applications involving the cooperative management of small
databases. The application programmer is expected to have only a
minimal knowledge about databases to structure the application and
no programming skills are required to define queries or to create
functionalities. The system provides tools to format graphical interfaces
using an extension of HTML that is compatible with existing HTML
formatting utilities.
