    Abstract: DA9-87-018 SEPARATION OF DOCUMENT LAYOUT AND DATA ELEMENTS Separate storage of layout and data components composed on a computer system permits editing of either component indepdent of the other. Normally, format controls are stored with data, and to edit either requires calling both. By separately storing and retrieving layout and data components, considerable flexibility is achieved in the creation, processing and assembly of those components in various combinations into one or more documents.

    Abstract: Electronic creation, modification and presentation of composed documents containing mixed document type characteristics is specifiable in a single data stream definition. This eliminates the proliferation of different architecture protocols that describe the various states of a document and reflects the natural condition of a composed document with some sections being in revisable state while other document sections are completed and therefore suitable for presentation. In addition, this data stream definition functions in an interchange environment and is therefore "self-contained" and capable of containing all the resources (e.g., fonts for text data, etc.) required for complete document composition fidelity.
