The strategies for the selection of an Intelligent Document Management (DM) systems to solve the real-world business challenges are discussed. While selecting a DM system the corporate vision, goals and objectives should be retained in mind. A key factor within a corporate's requirement document is to use questions tactically, play one question off against the other with the sole intention of catching the vendor out. Throughout the selection process it is imperative to talk to the prospective vendors about their mission statement and track record. Finally the benefits in using document management to capture the organization's Knowledge base, controlling the growth of the business.

'Virtual Reality', or interactive 3-D graphics has been the subject of much hype with regard to its promise in the field of engineering. If virtual reality provides a uniquely effective means of conveying information about 3-D forms, as its proponents contend, then it should have found widespread acceptance in the field of technical documentation, which is the distribution of information concerning engineering products. However, to date the use of this technology in working documentation systems is limited. This paper discusses some of the reasons for the limited progress made in the use of interactive 3-D in technical information systems, and concludes that there is a central role for interactive 3-D in technical documentation, but that progress needs to be made in the its authoring and presentation. The methodology of the production of interactive 3-D technical diagrams is discussed. Examples of some prototype tools are presented.

This paper presents a mobile agent-based framework for building mobile compound document, which can each be dynamically composed of mobile agents and can migrate itself over a network as a whole, with all its embedded agents. The key of this framework is that it builds a hierarchical mobile agent system that enables multiple mobile agents to be combined into a single mobile agent. The framework also provides several value-added mechanisms for visually manipulating components embedded in a compound document and for sharing a window on the screen among the components. This paper describes this framework and some experiences in the implementation of a prototype system, currently using Java the both implementation language and component development language, and then illustrates several interesting applications to demonstrate the framework's utility and flexibility.

A final evaluation of the project Development of a verb thesaurus for dynamic information environments. Implementation of the ISO/IEC 12350:1999 standard is presented as a base for the use of its results on future research projects. First, the interest of the Library and Information Science field towards verbal structures is justified for its efficacy on the documental analysis of the movement for: a) a relevant indentification, description and classification of hypermedia, b) its sufficient analytic documental adaptation to the the dynamic transverse character of the hypertext contents and c) the required redefinition of the hierarchical structure of thesauri. Then the methodological evolution of these dynamic concepts is tackled as well as its implementation to the development of verb thesauri for the Spanish legal language. Main contributions of this paper are new research lines oriented to a more specific field of theoric formulation and instrumental implementation.

The advent of hypertext and multimedia has opened up tremendous opportunities for online documentation. Traditional methods of document design often prove inadequate for coping with the complexity of large online documentation projects. We propose that the principles of object-oriented design, originally developed to address software complexity, can also be applied to documentation. The paper introduces the concepts of object-oriented design and their applicability to documentation, and suggests techniques for developing object-oriented documentation.

In this paper, I detail what Bill Hart-Davidson describes as the "anxiety" that many technical communicators have about implementations of single source documentation. Specifically, I briefly explore what I see as some of the key potential rhetorical problems with single sourcing, in part by drawing on real-world examples gathered from conversations with and shadowing of technical communicators in their workplaces. I address the following potential objections that we need to handle in pragmatic and/or theoretical terms in order to claim for ourselves the kind of theoretical approach that will best suit our professional goals as well as those of our user populations: Single Sourcing Can Privilege Organizational Needs Over Enduser Needs Single Sourcing Can Limit Perceptions and Potential of Technical Communicators Single Sourcing Can Contribute to Under-Theorizing.

This paper describes the latest instantiation of the open hypermedia concept of the generic link as it appears in Microsoft™ Office products - the Smart Tag. We review the background to generic linking and the technology involved in Smart Tags and discuss the reaction to this application in the computing press. Recommendations are made on how the system design could be improved for our purposes.

The digital networked world is enabling and requiring a new emphasis on personalized document creation. The new, more dynamic digital environment demands tools that can reproduce both the contents and the layout automatically, tailored to personal needs and transformed for the presentation device, and can enable novices to easily create such documents. In order to achieve such automated document assembly and transformation, we have formalized custom document creation as a multiobjective optimization problem, and use a genetic algorithm to assemble and transform compound personalized documents. While we have found that such an automated process for document creation opens new possibilities and new workflows, we have also found several areas where further research would enable the approach to be more broadly and practically applied. This paper reviews the current system and outlines several areas where future research will broaden its current capabilities.

This paper discusses fundamental requirements necessary for implementing a model-based document production and management system for Construction. This system intends to capture, in concert with the contemporaneous documents, other information about context, rationale and process. This is a requisite for formulating a project's history, and reconstructs the true accounts of what happened during a period of construction. Accurate accounts of project events are essential for a successful and equitable claim resolution.
