NAME

ScrollKeeper? - An open document cataloging and metadata management system.

DESCRIPTION

ScrollKeeper? is a system for managing document metadata. Its

primary function is to act as a card catalog for documents, keeping track of what documents are available, where they can be found, and various attributes of the documents such as their language, format, subject, version, and position in a contents list. It also manages other metadata such as document indices.

ScrollKeeper? acts as a middle layer between applications and

help browsers. When applications install documentation, the documentation is registered with !ScrollKeeper?. Any

ScrollKeeper?-aware help browser on the system can then

access this information. In this way, !ScrollKeeper? is a compatibility layer which allows any help browser to interface to all the documentation on a system, provided the package which ships the documentation registers it with

ScrollKeeper?. It also removes much of the burden from

application packagers and help browser developers by providing a standard set of tools and by doing much of the work inside of !ScrollKeeper?.
