Conclusions & Further Work
DOM represents a robust interface and the extensions needed are relatively minor.
The web is suitable for read-only access and relatively simple editing tasks. Good URL design is an important part of a web interface.
More complex editing will more easily be performed with a user interface modelled after traditional editors.
Further work:
- Performance and capacity issues with very large documents or document collections.
- Design of intuitive web form based user interfaces.
