Classes of WWW documents 

There are several different kinds of WWW documents which we like to distinguish

 

• Static documents
  • Authored in a markup language - bound at edit time

• Generated documents
  • Translated from another language to HTML - bound at translation time

• Calculated documents
  • Generated from a program - bound at document access time

• Dynamic documents
  • Partly generated from a program - bound at browse time

 

In this seminar we will primarily be concerned with generated documents, and secondarily with calculated documents.
