Form document management system SPECDOQ its architecture and implementation

Abstract: Architecture and implementation of a form document management system SPECDOQ are presented. The system automates or semi-automates manipulation of conventional form documents combining alphanumeric and Kanji/Kana character strings, texts, and graphics. SPECDOQ features uniform management of the document database in terms of unnormalized relations, named nested tables. Complicated manipulation of form documents can be accomplished by combinations of abstract, algebraic operations on the nested tables. The system also features graphics-based user friendly manipulation of external form documents on the screen. Architectural key concepts in SPECDOQ and their implementation are explained. Some system-user interaction examples and early experiences on SPECDOQ field use are also given in this paper.

Formgraphics: A Form-Based Graphics Architecture Providing a Database Workbench

Abstract: Complex combinations of text, graphics, and alphanumeric strings can be manipulated easily and rapidly when displayed in screen formats similar to conventional hard-copy forms.
