Re: [chairs] need your comments on DocMgmt system requirements

The way I would implement this would be to have a special type of document that is a "virtual document", and have the UI detect that, so for example, the WebUI would build XML or something like:

wd-ebms-01.virt:

<virtual-document>

<name>wd-ebms-01</name>

<desc>ebMS 2.1 Draft 1</desc>

<real-file-mapping>

<format type="pdf" location-type="url">http://mattsmachine/ebms.pdf</format>

<format type="msword" location-type="kavi">repositoryID</format>

</real-file-mapping>

</virtual-document>

There are more elegant ways to accomplish this when using something like an ebXML Registry.

Generally, you can use separate folders for that, and put folders inside folder, but if it is all locked up insider a "search" engine, it becomes more trouble than it is worth to someone from the public unfamiliar with the structure of a particular TC yet who wants to quickly research the topic area and download the most useful versions for any individual set of needs.

Batch uploading and a sitemap would help.

Karl,

The upload dialogue must contain a new entry box - associate to existing

Matt:

I had suggested something like that, but Norm had asked how to link the

two versions of the same file together. Any suggestions how to do this?

(i.e. how does the doc mgmt system know that foo.03.pdf and foo.03.doc

are different representations of the same thing?)
