You've reached www.infonuovo.com/dma/csdocs/elements , a collection of information about Compound-Structured Documents Extensions to the DMA 1.0 provisions for elements.
- Elements are the interior, dependently-persistent parts of independently-persistent objects such as DocVersions.
- The elements that are of most concern in the context of CSDocs are the Renditions and Content Elements that are incorporated in and carried as parts of DocVersions.
- Many of the provisions for elements are generic and applicable beyond the content model, although the immediate application in CSDocs is around the DMA content model and the addressing and sharing of content elements.
The most dramatic impact on elements for CSDocs is the introduction of Virtual Elements.
The CSDocs extensions involving the DMA 1.0 element model also pertain to extensions to relationships, and navigation. There is more information under CSDocs Foundation and also in the CSDocs sketch.
This and other sections of infonuovo.com/dma provide an unofficial guide to the DMA Technical Committee effort on the DMA 1.0 specification, proposed extensions, and trial-use recommendations.
This web page, www.infonuovo.com/dma/csdocs/elements/index.htm, is part of the engineering, construction management, maintenance, and infrastructure of the InfoNuovo web. You are welcome to explore this and other construction-information pages. You'll need your hard hat and safety shoes.
If you'd rather find out about DMA's approach to elements for Compound-Structured Documents than admire the scaffolding, organization, and implementation of the infonuovo.com site, go directly to the DMA/CSDocs/elements web folder. If that doesn't work, come back later. The folder is blocked off whenever the construction crew is working here.
