Key Client Features

There are a few client features that greatly enhance using the Data Library.

Hot List or Bookmarks

This lets you save a pointer to any page that you see, so that you can later instantly jump to that page regardless of how convoluted a path you traverse to get there originally.

Window History

Even without explicitly saving a bookmark, many viewers keep track of the pages you have visited, and allow you to jump back to any page that you have seen in this session.

Document Editing

While not true of this generation of clients, the clients of the near future will allow users to gracefully create documents of their own. This means any WWW document or graphic can be trivially included in a users document, and a WWW server that provides useful graphics can be tremendously useful. Even the current generation can simplify creating documents.
