...tag.
We currently are unable to include non-textual items in our views. The underlying database is, however, able to store non-textual information, and we plan to incorporate this into the display layer in the near future.

...object
We allow a development history for an object to incorporate references to other objects, whereas the temporal history is only within a (possibly composite) object.

...machine
The aim is to allow multiple database servers with varying types of databases, but this is not realised in the current version of the system.

The folder GPD is written this way so that each item in the folder can easily use a different GPD in expansion.

...position).
Note that there are occasions when the newly inserted item will always be the the first item in its sequence. This is dependent upon the type of item that you insert. If it is a link to another object, it can be ordered. Link tags and attribute tags cannot be ordered, and obviously neither can attribute values (there's only one of a particular attribute value). This occurs because of a very early design decision not to order tags and cannot be corrected without major changes to the model.

...text
This can be in the same or a different window.

...this.
Dragging is not the only way to select text. Double clicking with the left button on a word will select that word, and triple clicking on a line will select the whole line.

...after
There is no mechanism currently in place for adding a link before a component.

...button.
The window title on this window is `Component Temporal History'. Don't let this confuse you. A `component' refers to an entire information component from which a part might be taken for the item. From the user's perspective, however, browsing through the history will be as if they are browsing through the history of that item.

...table
ctrl- will be used in the table to symbolize the `control' key. meta- will be used for the `meta' key.

...store.
This isn't quite true. It is possible that new binding tables will be stored automatically as you browse, but this is as it should be.

Not all of the GPD is visible in the figure, but rather only those parts which are necessary for understanding the illustration.

...GPD's.
Throughout this chapter, we will try to include many examples of that which we are discussing. Of course, we expect that you will also look at examples in the database.
