We describe work to enhance existing software protocols and develop a suite of new software utilities based upon a set of standards known as the World Wide Web (WWW). Specifically, we have developed an effective X-windows based WYSIWYG WWW browser/editor and a prototype for integrated wide-area authentication and authorization support for delivery and maintenance of WWW service. These software development activities, along with parallel work in content development, are empowering individuals to better use the Internet as a resource to easily author, publish, and access materials. As an illustrative application, we describe one Web-based self-instructional unit designed to increase users' knowledge of hazardous substances in the environment. This on-line monograph was adapted from a series of paper-based case studies developed by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. The on-line version illustrates many of the innovative features provided by the Web, and demonstrates how such materials can significantly impact medical education at all levels.
我们描述了增强现有软件协议以及基于一套被称为万维网（WWW）的标准开发一套新软件实用工具的工作。具体而言，我们开发了一个基于X窗口的所见即所得万维网浏览器/编辑器以及一个用于为万维网服务的交付和维护提供集成广域认证和授权支持的原型。这些软件开发活动，连同在内容开发方面的并行工作，正在使个人能够更好地利用互联网作为一种资源来轻松创作、发布和获取材料。作为一个说明性应用，我们描述了一个基于网络的自我指导单元，旨在增加用户对环境中有害物质的了解。这本在线专著改编自美国卫生与公众服务部有毒物质与疾病登记署开发的一系列纸质案例研究。在线版本展示了网络提供的许多创新功能，并展示了此类材料如何能够对各级医学教育产生重大影响。
