The Notes client also contains a browser, which can download Web pages and maintain them as Notes documents.
Notes Domino is Internet compliant and can be accessed by a Web browser, converting Notes database contents into HTML pages on the fly. In 1996, the Notes client was decoupled from the Notes server, which was renamed Domino. Many applications have been built with Notes using its macro language and LotusScript, a Visual Basic-like programming language. The Notes Name & Address Book provides a central directory for all resources. Notes provides strong replication capability, which synchronizes databases distributed in multiple locations and to mobile users. Everything, including mail and group discussions, are maintained in a Notes database, which can hold data fields, text, audio and video. The heart of Notes, and what makes it different from other groupware, is its document database. In 2012, Lotus Notes was officially renamed IBM Notes. It also accepts plug-ins for other functions. Notes provides email, document sharing, workflow, group discussions and calendaring and scheduling. Originally Lotus Notes and introduced in 1989 for OS/2, it was later expanded to Windows, Mac, Unix, NetWare, AS/400 and S/390.
