Lotus Notes

	Lotus Notes
	Lotus Notes is of the software family known as groupware (software designed to be used by groups of people sharing information and working together to communicate, collaborate and coordinate). More specifically, Lotus Notes is a document database with integrated messaging and an advanced client/server application development environment. Lotus Notes is also a distributed client/server platform that allows you to develop applications containing data to be shared by groups of users across a network. It is comprised of a set of document databases that reside on top of a messaging infrastructure. Leveraging the distributed storage and messaging features, the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) provided by Notes enables Rapid Application Development and Deployment (RADD) of strategic enterprise-wide business applications.

Lotus Domino

The Lotus Domino server is a combination Notes server and Internet server, allowing Web browsers dynamic access to Notes applications. This offers to users the global access and rich media of an Internet environment combined with the wonderful data organization and application development features of Notes.

Domino is a Notes server with the same functions and components as previous Notes servers. In addition, Domino provides an HTTP server component to enable Web clients to communicate with the server and a URL interface with extensions that allow the Web client use of the Notes database components. Notes database components such as views, documents, links, navigators, and buttons are dynamically translated to HTML for URL requests.

Domino also has access to the kind of files that any normal Web server would use. For example you can embed HTML within Notes documents to control document formatting and links. You can also make use of graphic and multimedia formats such as GIF, JPEG and any other format that your browser can handle. In addition to the programmability provided by Notes itself, the Domino server provides you with the normal programming interfaces for Web servers and browsers, such as CGI and Java.
