Abstract
The World Wide Web and Distributed Object-Oriented Systems (e.g. CORBA ) provide future infrastructures for distributed client/server computi ng. This paper presents our work to provide the integration of CORBA o bjects into the Web: first, to describe Web services using object-orie nted technologies and second to access any Information System develope d with CORBA from the Web. We present anew Shared Information Space mo del with the following issues: Object Orientation Design, Distributed and Heterogeneous Environment, Users' Point of View, Object Invocation and Navigation. Navigation over SIS is supported by CorbaWeb, a Gener ic Object Navigator, composed of metascripts allowing the access, the representation and the invocation of any CORBA object from the Web. Th ese operations are achieved by scripts written in CorbaScript, an inte rpreted scripting language which can dynamically invoke any CORBA obje cts.
