ANTWEB Design Goals
Efficient work flow: Automate as much as possible.
Blend with current habits: Leverage in-place processes.
Support multiple sources of data: To achieve #1 and #2, necessary to deal with data in whatever form it comes.
Maximize code life span: Stick with known standards, use open source tools.
