The proposed Poseidon system is based on email services of filled forms instead of WEB server based services. This approach is convenient especially for small applications or small-medium companies. It is based on PDF forms that are available on a WEB page. PDF forms can be downloaded, off-line filled in, printed and finally sent by email for final processing. Data are actually stored in the local outbox waiting for a connection to a mail server. This follows an idea of the standard "paper" letter sending. Filled in data are actually sent when a user is on-line, therefore a user is "free" of being on-line when filling the forms. When the PDF form is processed on the recipient side, answer is sent back via email as well. Typical application is e.g. in conference management systems, systems for submission to journals etc. The great advantage of the PDF forms use is that they can be easily made or modified by a non-specialized administrative person easily.
翻译:提议的Poseidon系统基于填充表格的电子邮件服务,而不是WEB服务器服务。这个方法特别对小型应用程序或小型中型公司方便。它以WEB页面上的PDF表格为基础。PDF表格可以下载、脱机填写、打印,最后通过电子邮件发送以供最后处理。数据实际上储存在本地发件箱中,等待与邮件服务器连接。这符合标准的“纸张”信件发送的想法。在用户上网时,填入数据实际上是发送的,因此用户在填入表格时“免费”可以上网。在接收方处理PDF表格时,通过电子邮件将回复发送。典型应用在会议管理系统、提交期刊系统等中。PDF表格使用的最大优点是,用户很容易被非专门化的行政人员制作或修改。
