Summary on Grant Application Form
This proposal is aimed at improving the quality and generality of internet access available to networked computer users and programmers. The current universal model of access comprises user-directed browsing around hyper-text style documents based on Uniform Resource Locators (URLs); although the inherent usefulness of this activity is beyond doubt, it is contended that a more general model is essential for many activities. This proposal describes a high-level approach to incrementally adding facilities to currently available internet technology, to allow q wider range of activities including, for example: automating a search for resources with particular attributes; downloading partial resources and making dynamic decisions based on them; downloading typed data and data whose structure is not previously known; and remote execution, including controlled remote update to data resources. The intention is to include appropriate internet semantics within a high-level programming system, thus bringing them within reach of the average applications programmer.
