ABSTRACT
The growth of bandwidth for Internet access, combined with the increase in the capacity of computers, has enabled the migration of different tools. Those tools, which previously operated separately, have migrated from the user's computer to the Web environment. The basic platform is no longer specific hardware and operating system and becomes the Web browser. Users benefit from the collaborative work space on the network that needs no installation and updating of specialized software on the client. This paper presents an authoring tool based on components called Componere that follows this approach being developed by us. This paper reports the following development challenges: the production of a component model in JavaScript, the use of Microformats for the representation of compositions in HTML and the development of a tool that allows end users to contribute in expanding the library of components using tools that they are familiar with.
