We propose a technique of client side web page modification in software system interconnection development using the standard data format. This method enables software systems interconnection development easier, faster and cheaper without modification of web server programs. Thai government organization communicates with each other by using paper based formal correspondence letter for commanding, notification, announcement, and so on. In this research we perform two experiments in the real e‐Government systems. Since there are only a few web pages has to be modified, the modification become less pain than expected. The interconnection developments in the experiments are as rapid as months and much less expensive than expected.
This technique is independent from web based application development technology and tools; Dot Net, Java Server Page, PHP and etc. It can be applied to wide range of applications including ones developed by using obsolete software tools and supporting technologies. However since the technique is based on web page technology, the legacy software is not web based could be applied easily. This technique can be extended to apply with other types of technology which is considered to be our future work. Moreover since basically the main job of using the technique is to analyze the web page content in html syntax on the fly, there would be cases that the page content is too complicated to analyzed and modified correctly, for example the page includes too complicated script language programming. There are limitations to use this technique in software interconnection developments.
