Abstract

The HyperText Markup Language Interface (HTMLI) provides the Department of Defense (DoD) user community with access to an Image Product Library (IPL) and its associated server. The IPL is a library/archive for several categories of data, while its server acts as a broker to other database libraries. The HTMLI accesses data in the IPL and implements the IPL server application programming interface (API) to provide a gateway between the IPL and the user community supported World Wide Web (WWW) (i.e., the Internet) tools and servers. The end result is that a user can employ a WWW browser (e.g., Mosaic^TM Netscape ^TM or Microsoft Internet Explorer^TM) to access an IPL server from any platform that can support a hypertext viewer, without the need for any other specialized software specific to that application
