Descripción
Sumario:	The Navajo Language Literature Project was established to create and deliver a web-based, digital library of Navajo language texts. The current focus is to deliver the texts on the web and allow collaborative editing for linguistic detail such as word parses and glosses. The original implementation of the project used a server-side design for the Internet applications. The addition of asynchronous update to the server for this project gave the client web application more responsibility and started a line of inquiry into how much processing can be pushed to the web browser client. A major advantage of this move is a simplification of deployment that can be beneficial for small and unfunded projects in the humanities. The case study below defines and parameterizes a model for this client-side pattern.
