"The power of the Web as a new medium derives not only from its ability to allow people
to communicate across vast distances and different times, but also from the ability of machines to help people communicate and manage information.
The Web is a complex distributed system, and Object Technology has been an important part of managing the complexity of the Web from its creation.
Object Technology continues to influence and impact the web in a number of areas." (W3C)
"What is Internet2? Internet2 is a research and development advanced Internet technology and applications

that are not possible with the technology underlying today's Internet." (UCAID)
