- ...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.

- 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.

- 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.

visible in the figure, but rather only those parts which are necessary
for understanding the illustration.

- 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.
