Method for the automatic generation of an interactive electronic equipment documentation package
First Claim
1. A method to produce an interactive electronic equipment documentation package, the package comprising multiple documents with hyperlinks, the method comprising:
- providing input documents;
providing tags to the input documents, each of the tags including tag information defining a request for the formation of a link and the formation of a click-button relating to the tag;
storing the tagged documents in a storage medium;
providing a project definition;
selecting from the tagged documents in the storage medium the tagged documents based on the project definition; and
creating links and click-buttons for the selected tagged documents based on the tag information associated with each tag.

Abstract
An interactive electronic equipment document production system is disclosed. Documents from different sources are standardized in a conversion process, provided with tags in a tagging process that provides information connecting an initial locating with another location and are evaluated in a building process where tags and tag information are evaluated. Though the use of associated files, CAD files and generic pictures can be provided with tags and links without modifying the actual CAD file or generic picture.
