Abstract: The World Wide Web and Distributed Object-Oriented Systems (e.g. CORBA) provide future infrastructures for distributed client/server computing. This paper presents our work to provide the integration of CORBA objects into the Web: first, to describe Web services using object-oriented technologies and second to access any Information System developed with CORBA from the Web. We present a new Shared Information Space model with the following issues: Object Orientation Design, Distributed and Heterogeneous Environment, Users' Point of View, Object Invocation and Navigation. Navigation over SIS is supported by CorbaWeb, a Generic Object Navigator, composed of metascripts allowing the access, the representation and the invocation of any CORBA object from the Web. These operations are achieved by scripts written in CorbaScript, an interpreted scripting language which can dynamically invoke any CORBA objects.
