| Abstract | In PODS 2008, I presented a paper on a formal, compositional specification of the Document Object Model (DOM), a W3C XML Update library. This work concentrated on Featherweight DOM, a small fragment of DOM which focuses on the XML tree structure and simple text nodes. Since the formal reasoning is compositional, we are able to work with a minimal set of commands and obtain complete reasoning for straight-line code. We are also able to verify, for example, invariant properties of simple DOM programs. This work is based on a recent breakthrough in program verification, based on analysing a program's use of resource. The idea is that the reasoning should follow the programmers' intuitions about which part of the computer memory the program touches. This style of reasoning was introduced by O'Hearn (Queen Mary) and Reynolds (CMU) in their work on Separation Logic for reasoning modularly about large C-programs (e.g. Microsoft device driver code, Linux). I substantially extended the range of local resource reasoning, introducing Context Logic to reason about programs that directly manipulate complex data structures such as XML. In this survey talk, I will give an overview of our theoretical and practical work on reasoning about DOM, highlighting recent developments which include: 1. the extension of this work to DOM Core Level 1. A substantial piece of work, not because of the reasoning, but because full DOM is large, underspecified and difficult to interpret, with no consensus between browsers; 2. reasoning about the combination of JavaScript and DOM to provide, for example, secure mashups for a more flexible, secure integration of outsourced payment services; 3. on-going work on a verification tool for automatically reasoning about DOM programs and the identification of key examples of web applications on which to test our DOM reasoning: e.g., with current technology, we can prove by hand that mashup programs are fault free; with our tool, such proofs will be automatic. An ultimate challenge is to develop the necessary reasoning technology to provide a safe and secure web environment on which to build the next generation of web applications, thus demonstrating the scientific feasibility of a reliable Web. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
