+ <objectives>
+  <p>Overall architectural design of the distribution model,

+ <description>
+  <p>The work is articulated in three, conceptually sequential
+     tasks:</p>
+  <dl>
+   <dt>T5.1</dt>
+   <dd>Architectural Design of the Distribution Model. The big
+       issue it to find the right compromise between two opposite
+       requirements: <I>distribution</I> (in the sense of the
+       Web: few rules, no central authority) and <I>coherence</I>
+       (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 <I>phisically</I> distributed library with a
+       single <I>logical</I> view.</dd>
+
+   <dt>T5.2</dt>
+   <dd>Prototype implementation. First prototyping implementation
+       of the distribution layer.</dd>
+
+   <dt>T5.3</dt>
+   <dd>Integration with the Consultation Engine. First
+       implementation of the library as a distributed repository.
+       Distribution should be completely transparent to users of
+       the Consultation Engine.</dd>

+ <milestone>
+  <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>
