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 avail-
able, 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 Scroll-
Keeper. 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 pack-
age which ships the documentation registers it with ScrollKeeper. It also removes
much of the burden from application packagers and help browser developers by pro-
viding a standard set of tools and by doing much of the work inside of Scroll-
Keeper.
