"METHOD FOR PROVIDING AN APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT INTERFACE FOR MULTIPLE USABLE APPLICATIONS THROUGH COMMUNICATION NETWORKS, SYSTEM FOR DEVELOPING A MANUFACTURED USER-MANUFACTURING, A USER-MANUFACTURED, USER-MANUFACTURED USER. MANUFACTURING ". It is an application development interface for developing multi-user applications that can be run on a distributed network. An object definition structure is provided for the client-based definition of objects used by a multi-user application. The object definition includes the characteristics associated with the object and used by the application to interact with other customers on the distributed network. A transmission schedule is associated with one or more of the characteristics and controls the transmission of object data from the creator client to other clients on the distributed network. During the execution of the multi-user application, the characteristics of the object are automatically updated periodically or with the change of a characteristic in relation to a preset limit value, according to the values provided in the transmission schedule. The object definition created by the customer is used by all functions and processes within the multi-user application that use the object.
