Abstract

WebDAV(Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning), a protocol which supports web-based distributed authoring and versioning, provides a standard infrastructure for asynchronous collaboration on various contents through the Internet. A WebDAV property mangement is a function to set and managethe main information of the rewources as properties, and a user propserty, one kind of the WebDAV prperties, has the ability to be freely defined by users. This free definition of user property makes it very useful to develop web-based applications like a collaboration system based on WebDAV. However, with and existing WebDAV property management scheme, there is a limit to deveolp various application. This paper describes a DavUP(WebDav User property design Protocol) protocol which extended the original WebDAV and its utilization which efficiently supports management of WebDAV user properties. DavIP needs the definition of the collection structure and type definition properties for an application. To do this, we added a new header and appropriated WebDAV method fuctions to the WebDAV protocol. To show the usefulness of DavIP protocols, we extended our DAVinci WebDAV server to support DavUP protocols and experimentally implemented a general Open Workspace, which provides effective functions to share an exchange open data among general users, on the DAVinci.
