applying object-oriented concepts to documentation
The advent of hypertext and multimedia has opened up tremendous opportunities for online documentation. Traditional methods of document design often prove inadequate for coping with the complexity of large online documentation projects. We propose that the principles of object-oriented design, originally developed to address software complexity, can also be applied to documentation. The paper introduces the concepts of object-oriented design and their applicability to documentation, and suggests techniques for developing object-oriented documentation.
