Future paths

Future developments which would further enhance the project could include:

Daemon programs which run overnight and build indexes of available information.

A server automatically providing a hypertext view of a (for example Oracle) database, from a description of the database and a description (for example in SQL) of the view required.

Work on efficient networking over wide areas, negotiation with other sites to provide compatible online information.

A serious study of the use and abuse of the system, the sociology of its use at CERN.
