7. WEB-KLIC software

　The purpose of this research is to complete the development of the WEB-KLIC environment and improve the quality of the user manual.

　The methodology we will adopt in the brushup phase of the WEB-KLIC project is based on refinements of the existing software and documentation.

　During the FY 97 we have developed and tested the lower layers of the WEB-KLIC system. The goal of the here proposed brushup phase is to add abstract APIs and simple extensions to make the use of WEB-KLIC more abstract and more accessible to a wider community of developers. In particular we propose to

1. introduce an abstract API to the CGI facilities of WEB-KLIC

2. port the browser interface facilities from NCSA Mosaic to Netscape and create an abstract API to express client-side computations;

3. add two new sections (a Tutorial section and an Internals section) to the User Manual.
