Still, I don't at this time see WebDAV removing the need for Document Management Systems. If a word processor, or web page editor, or development tool were able to access, edit, and create files on a remote repository, sure, that is good functionality. NT or NetWare or a web server would be examples of a remote repository. But in many cases I still see a requirement for metadata management, and I don't see hierarchical file systems (such as the examples provided above) providing that. So, DM systems will also be remote repositories when requirements demand the services of a DMS. Check out - ics.uci.edu and the W3C itself - w3.org There's another issue as well with client access standards. Its important that a large majority of client applications support such standards, and early on, there's never enough support broadly across all apps. We are still waiting to see ODMA supported really broadly. Unless I'm missing something I'd say WebDAV will end up being complimentary to the efforts of DM vendors.
