Abstract

The Cave Project is a research effort aiming to make possible the distribution of CAD resources over the World Wide Web. This distribution is intended to be user-transparent, so the network locations of the resources are hidden by the hypermedia structure of the WWW environment. This paper describes the advantages of using hypermedia to model design flow, proposing the navigation over a chain of hyperdocuments instead successive invocation of tools. The paper also describes the current research and development on project management, a key point in network based design environments, since the design teams are usually distributed.
