The role of modularity in document authoring systems
Janet H. Walker · 1988
Modularity is a fundamental concept in documents and document development as well as in programming.I hypothesized that the effectiveness of writing professionals could be increased by providing a working environment to support explicit modularity in documents and document development.This paper briefly describes an environment designed to enable testing this hypothesis and evaluates it by means of discussions with professional writers who used it for large, real-world, development projects.
