Abstract:
-
Developing SGML applications involves making choices driven by end
user requirements and by the availability and functionality of third
party SGML parsers, authoring tools, search engines, browsers, and
data converters. Capabilities of HTML and the World Wide Web should
factor into these decisions as well if users are geographically
dispersed or have diverse computing platforms. SGML application
developers typically build some or all of the following components: a
DTD; legacy data conversion tools; a DTD-tailored authoring
environment; a document repository; browsing and searching interfaces;
and tools for producing formatted output. For each component, we
discuss design and implementation alternatives, the approach we
decided to use in building our SGML environment for authoring and
accessing STEP product data exchange standards, and our rationale for
choosing that approach.
