Abstract
With increasingly complex enterprise demands and the explosion of the web, serious
problems with the Web are showing. Among them, management and maintenance are
two of the most well-known, inherent in the inflexibility, the lack of infrastructure
and the missing semantic structure of web documents. LifeWeb has been proposed
as an approach towards solving these problems by providing an object-oriented
model with the life design for Web documents. Key concepts of LifeWeb are centred
around the semantic structure of documents, and its separation from presentation
and raw contents material. Selective access and customised presentations are expressed
as rules of so-called activation schemes. Link accesses activate these schemes.
This paper describes the underlying model and the implementation of a prototype
for LifeWeb and explains how a GUI application can be developed on top of the
LifeWeb engine to facilitate and simplify the authoring and management of Web
documents.
