Collaborative Authoring
on the Web
•WebDAV (DAV):  Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning is a standard extension of the original HTTP 1.1 protocol that is used to transfer Web pages over the Internet.
•
•Because HTTP has built-in features that provide security and other desirable features during file transfers, it provides collaboration features on the Internet. 
•
•WebDAV Working Group:  the group of individuals who are actively collaborating on defining this new protocol.
