In 1996, WWDC'96's primary emphasis was a new software component technology called ''[[OpenDoc]]'',<ref>{{cite web|title=Apple Worldwide Developers Conference Convenes |url=http://product.info.apple.com/pr/press.releases/1996/q3/960513.pr.rel.wwdc.html |website=apple.com |access-date=September 21, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19990505160323/http://product.info.apple.com/pr/press.releases/1996/q3/960513.pr.rel.wwdc.html |archive-date=May 5, 1999 |url-status=dead}}</ref> which allowed end users to compile an application from components offering features they desired most. The OpenDoc consortium included Adobe, Lotus, others, and Apple. Apple touted OpenDoc as the future foundation for application structure under Mac OS. As proof of concept, Apple demonstrated a new end-user product called [[Cyberdog]], a comprehensive Internet application component suite offering users an integrated browser, email, FTP, telnet, finger and other services built fully of user-exchangeable OpenDoc components. ''ClarisWorks'' (later renamed ''[[AppleWorks]]''), a principal product in Apple's wholly owned subsidiary ''[[Claris]] Corporation'', was demonstrated as an example of a pre-OpenDoc component architecture application modified to be able to contain functional OpenDoc ''[[Component-based software engineering|components]]''.
