MSR design documentation (MEDOC)
- Started with a documentation system based on a relational database management system
- no WYSIWYG at all
- relational database not adequate
- highly dependant on tools
- Focus now on SGML
- SGML instances with their well defined structures (DTD) can be treated as database
- totally tool and platform independent
- no information loss during data exchange
- quasi WYSIWYG*
- long term stablity
