!ScrollKeeper is a system for managing document metadata. Its |
| 1 |
perry |
19 |
primary function is to act as a card catalog for documents, |
| |
|
20 |
keeping track of what documents are available, where they |
| |
|
21 |
can be found, and various attributes of the documents such |
| |
|
22 |
as their language, format, subject, version, and position in |
| |
|
23 |
a contents list. It also manages other metadata such as |
| |
|
24 |
document indices. |
| |

!ScrollKeeper acts as a middle layer between applications and |
| 1 |
perry |
28 |
help browsers. When applications install documentation, the |
| 2 |
perry |
29 |
documentation is registered with !ScrollKeeper. Any |
| |
|
30 |
!ScrollKeeper-aware help browser on the system can then |
| |
|
31 |
access this information. In this way, !ScrollKeeper is a |
| 1 |
perry |
32 |
compatibility layer which allows any help browser to |
| |
|
33 |
interface to all the documentation on a system, provided the |
| |
|
34 |
package which ships the documentation registers it with |
| 2 |
perry |
35 |
!ScrollKeeper. It also removes much of the burden from |
| 1 |
perry |
36 |
application packagers and help browser developers by |
| |
|
37 |
providing a standard set of tools and by doing much of the |
| 2 |
perry |
38 |
work inside of !ScrollKeeper. |
