• forms-based query interfaces to databases
  • DB query as a virtual document
  • another WAIS of searching
• client-based (remote) user interfaces to applications
  • controlling an application from a document
  • how not to do it
• Application embedding
  • Using client-side external viewers
  • embedded teleconferencing -- almost!
