A glob is a bundle of front-end resources for an app which is served to a web client by the %docket agent in the %landscape desk. The glob will typically contain an index.html file, along with CSS, JS, and other resources the web app needs. The glob for an app will be retrieved when you install it, either over Ames or from an external web server.
