<pre width="80">
<p>
CI Labs and its members are committed to providing solutions to meet
today's complex and evolving computing needs. OpenDoc is not technology
for the sake of technology; it empowers people and organizations with new
capabilities that are both powerful and easy to use. The benefits of
widespread adoption of OpenDoc will be revolutionary for users and
developers alike.
<p>
OpenDoc is an architecture for applications. Architecture is a word with
many connotations. To clarify the meaning of the term, let's look at a
definition for architecture from Webster's Dictionary:
<p>
<samp>Architecture(n.)</samp> <samp>A</samp> <samp>method</samp> <samp>or</samp> <samp>style</samp> <samp>of</samp> <samp>building.</samp> <samp>A</samp> <samp>unifying</samp> <samp>form</samp> <samp>or</samp>
<samp>structure.</samp>
<p>
To apply this same idea to the term application architecture, read the
definition as follows:
<p>
<samp>Application</samp> <samp>architecture</samp> <samp>(n.)</samp> <samp>A</samp> <samp>style</samp> <samp>of</samp> <samp>building</samp> <samp>applications,</samp>
<samp>characterized</samp> <samp>by</samp> <samp>a</samp> <samp>particular</samp> <samp>program</samp> <samp>structure</samp> <samp>and</samp> <samp>user</samp> <samp>interface.</samp>
<p>
The purpose of an application architecture is to create a style of
building applications. A recipe, if you will, for putting together a fine
program.
<p>
OpenDoc enables the creation of applications which will meet the needs of
users, developers, and platform vendors into the coming decade. OpenDoc
applications provide greatly improved content integration, collaboration,
customization, and cross-platform interoperability.
