Abstract Document Interface
The ability to view/search multiple data types through a single user interface is enabled through the ADI architecture:
- ADI is an API developed by EBT to separate the browser layer from the document data representation layer. The ADI is Implemented as a set of convenience functions (C++ class libraries) for EBT and our partners to build data-specific browser implementations
Moreover, it is EBT sharing a common development strategy and method with our development partners to extend and advance the technology
Although EBT is of course implementing the ADI architecture, we must credit Sun with helping EBT to develop the design

Abstract Document Interface (ADI)
Because the entire ADI architecture is built underneath the SIT, partners and customers can build their own UI on top of the whole thing. Customer browsers will enjoy the same features and benefits of the shrink-wrapped Matterhorn browser.
NOTE
- we do NOT plan general shipping of the ADI interface to SIT customers until after the initial release of Matterhorn.
- we have a separate presentation which goes into more detail on the Matterhorn architecture
