- <p>Overall architectural design of the distribution model,
- its implementation and integration with the consultation
- engine.</p>

- <description>
- <p>The work is articulated in three, conceptually sequential
- tasks:</p>
- <tasks>
- <task id="T5.1">
- <name>Architectural Design of the Distribution Model.</name>
- <p>The big
- issue it to find the right compromise between two opposite
- requirements: <em>distribution</em> (in the sense of the
- Web: few rules, no central authority) and <em>coherence</em>
- (coherence between different copies of a same document
- and global management of the library as a single rational
- development). Other architectural problems to be solved
- are the management of Uniform Resource Identifiers, their
- mapping to Uniform Resource Locators, and the integration
- of databases in the distribution model. The final aim is
- to have a <em>phisically</em> distributed library with a
- single <em>logical</em> view.</p>
- </task>
- <task id="T5.2">
- <name>Prototype implementation.</name>
- <p>First prototyping implementation
- of the distribution layer.</p>
- </task>
- <task id="T5.3">
- <name>Integration with the Consultation Engine.</name>
- <p>First
- implementation of the library as a distributed repository.
- Distribution should be completely transparent to users of
- the Consultation Engine.</p>
- </task>
- </tasks>

- <milestones>
- <p>The main milestone is the release of the advanced MOWGLI
- prototype, for the fourth meeting of the project, at month
- 24. The advanced prototype will integrate the previous one
- with the new distribution facilities offered by the
- distribution layer.</p>
