Hypermedia for avionic system software

The Hypermedia for Avionic System Software (HASS) was developed for the United States Air Force Wright Laboratory under contract with the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory. The Hypermedia Avionics Software Support (HASS) System is a prototype that demonstrates how access to technical reference manuals can be improved with the use of a computer utilizing the new techniques of hypermedia. The HASS framework consists of two parts: the Document Loader and the Reference System. Using the Document Loader, an author loads text, video, and audio, relating to a particular project into a database. The Reference System retrieves and presents the desired information stored in the database. The hypermedia links are created dynamically using standard database queries and require no maintenance
