Rich varieties of online digital documents are possible, documents which do not merely imitate the capabilities of other media. A true digital document provides an interface to potentially complex content. Since this content is infinitely varied and specialized, we must provide means to interact with it in arbitrarily specialized ways. Furthermore, since relevant content may be found in distinct documents, we must draw from multiple sources, yet provide a coherent presentation to the user Finally, it is essential to be able to conveniently author new content, dejine new means of manipulation, and seamlessly mesh both with existing materials. Wepresent a new general paradigm that regards documents with complex content as “multivalent documents”, comprising multiple “layers ” of distinct but intimately related content. Small, dynamically-loaded program objects, or “behaviors”, activate the

Digital documents have advanced only slightly from their non-digital ancestors, incorporating a few such innovations as hypertext links andfull text searching. Even the much heralded advent of multimedia, just as embedded images and video clips, are rather straightforward digital analogs of books and frim. We believe that computer technology makes possible far more interesting and complex digital documents, and propose a new general paradigm that regards complex documents as “multivalent documents ” comprising multiple “layers ” of distinct but intimately related content. Small, dynamically-loaded program objects, or “behaviors”, activate the content and work in concert with each other and layers of content to support arbitrarily specialized document types. Behaviors

Abstract — Most information and services required today by designers will soon become available as documents distributed in a wide area hypermedia network. New integration services are required from the design environment, supporting business transactions with design information providers, automatic exchange of design data between independent groups, and inte-grated support for new forms of collaboration. We discuss design using electronic commerce and other services based on the Inter-net, and propose a hypermedia system organization for a new generation of CAD systems, conceived to make efficient use of that infrastructure. We also describe our experience as designers of an integrated design and documentation system that interfaces existing design and documentation tools with electronic com-merce services based on the World Wide Web.
