whitepaper User Task Flows: Bringing the User Into the Development Process2007-04-01 Pathfinder Development
  Today's web applications support the editing and manipulation of data, allowing a much more robust dialogue to take place with between the software and the user. The basic concept of fetching static data from a hyperlink is expanded to include user actions such as add, delete, modify and clone, thereby allowing the user to effect some sort of permanent change. Adding in a rich interaction layer furthers the dialogue by presenting the opportunity to manipulate screen data without permanently changing the stored data. This technology greatly expands the robustness of the user experience and blurs the distinction between desktop and web-based applications.
