<title>Argo and W3</title>
<h1>The ARgo Protocol</h1>
There was at the <a href=Meeting.html>meeting</a> a
discrepancy betwen the W3 and Argo views of the world.
For example in Argo, data formats and protocols are trated similarly.
The term "document" had a subtly different place in the scheme of things,
and hence the ideas about naming and addressing were different.
<p>
To understand this from the W3 point of view, one must realise that the
argo protocol came from a CWIS design which had originally been
centralised, and was certainly authoritative. That is,
the argo server was the
authority on which one was to rely.
All references to documents or sessions on otehr servers therefore go though
an argo node in which all the means of access are descibed.
This allows
<ul>
<li>The list of accesses to be changed if the target moves, and
<li>The list of be quite complex, a document in itself.
</ul>
