Abstract
I. Introduction - Implementing Clipboard for OLAT
=================================================
The objective of this project is to implement a clipboard in a webapplication. This functionality will allow the users to search, navigate through the webapplication and collect information in the clipboard. The clipboard information can then be reused for other functionalities thus making the workflow extremely simple and intuitive.

The challenge in the project will be to make the clipboard architecture generic. It should be general enough to be used for general purpose data collection activities and still maintaining its customizability for specific workflows. Thus allowing new workflows to be incorporated easily into the system.

The aim of this project is to elaborate a clipboard concept to be used within OLAT and demostrate a prototype with a choosen workflow. The detailed plan and updates can be tracked from my webpage: http://mayankjain20.googlepages.com
