The Document Object Model (DOM) is a model that allows documents to contain objects that can be used, and manipulated. This allows the document to be easily changed by adding, deleting or editing elements or object attributes. This also allows for scripts and programs to update a document dynamically. The World Wide Web Consortium has a specification for DOM on its DOM page.
gnome-dom will be the GNOME implementation of the DOM specification. gnome-dom will contain libraries, and a server (via CORBA/ORBit) built on top of libxml.
gnome-dom currently exists in CVS as a skeleton implementation - volunteers are welcome to assist in completing it.
