KEY BENEFIT: This beginner-level conceptual
overview of HyTime explains how HyTime is used
both in traditional information processing
applications and in multi-media/hypermedia
applications. It sorts out the basic concepts from
the confusing details in the HyTime standard, and
shows readers apply how the standard can be
applied relatively simply and easily to existing
SGML and hypermedia applications. KEY
TOPICS: Explains the role that SGML-encoded
data plays in information management processing.
Shows how to use HyTime addressing methods to
locate all types of data; how to
incorporate HyTime concepts and architectural
forms into an application; how to define and use
HyTime property sets to access data of any type;
how to use anchor roles to define and describe the
meaning of relations in an SGML application; and
how to implement HyTime functions using the
facilities of existing SGML-based products and
systems. Contains an application specification for
a small HyTime application, and includes samples
of HyTime markup, descriptive illustrations, and
problems. MARKET: For
anyone involved with designing, creating,
evaluating, or using SGML applications -- both
users of systems who need to understand the
concepts, and builders of systems, who need to
apply the concepts. Previously announced in the
August/September 1994 PTR Catalog.
