Hi Art, Charles,
We have developed a technology, called AtomDB, at Oracle for transparent, local access to Web application resources when not connected to a network. This is one of the most frequently requested features on our mobile applications, which until now has required a non-Web application solution. Oracle is interested in developing Web applications for mobile and non-mobile environments that are resilient to network unreliability.
In the process of developing AtomDB, Oracle has analyzed various challenges in off line data access. We realize that the Webapps WG is interested in this area and Oracle is willing to contribute resources to advance specifications that improve application robustness to network conditions. We have a specification that we could share with the WebApps WG, if there is interest.
I look forward to what the working group has to say on this. Regards, Nikunj Mehta Advanced Development, Oracle
