Demo Walk-Through

These screen shots are provided to give you a sense of the demo in the event that you do not already have the browser required to run the demo yourself installed on your system.

A "modular AP" developer wishing to browse the ARM of the Value_with_unit module opens the XML document in her/his Web browser. The browser renders the XML as follows:

schema with buttons for EXPRESS names

The developer may click on any of the button labels embedded in the schema to toggle the labeled item's text description. For example, clicking on the button for value_limit causes value_limit's description to appear as shown here. Clicking this button again causes the description to disappear.

schema with ENTITY value_limit descriptive text exposed

At any time, the developer may click on the buttons at the top of the page to show or hide all text descriptions. For example, clicking on "Show All" causes the Web browser window to look something like this.

schema with all descriptive text exposed

If, after browsing the ARM, the developer decides to use Value_with_unit in a modular AP, (s)he would then use "plug-and-play" tools (to be built in a future phase of of the STEP Modularization project) to seamlessly incorporate the module.
