Computer-based structures and methods for generating, maintaining, and modifying a source document and related documentation
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a document generator wherein said document generator creates a memory-resident rapid comprehension documentation for source information wherein said rapid comprehension documentation includes said source information and at least one auto-generic annotation for an element in said source information and further wherein said at least one auto-generic annotation is automatically generated upon processing of said source information by said document generator; and
an information maintenance controller coupled to said document generator, wherein said information maintenance controller maintains revision control for both said source information and said at least one auto-generic annotation.

Abstract
A system functions as a composite facility for documentation, maintenance, composition, and testing of information in a source file. A documentation generator converts the source file into exploded detail documentation in a cradle file system from which exploded-view virtual reality displays are generated. For software program code maintenance, a software application source code maintenance controller maintains the cradle file system in a reversible historical and multi-lineal version lattice via an industry-standard revision control system. A website composer utilizes information on cradle file system to support interactive artistic graphical and textual composition of web-displays. A testing and verification manager utilizes information on cradle file system to support the synthesis and maintenance of regression tests and the debugging of software program code from the context of the exploded-view virtual reality displays. Hence, the system functions as scaffolding that supports integrated, all-in-one documentation of contained software systems.

128. A system comprising:
-
a cradle file system;
a document generator coupled to said cradle file system wherein said document generator creates a metatree structure on said cradle file system, said metatree structure comprising;
source information; and
auto-generically generated interpretative information for said source information wherein said auto-generically generated interpretive information is automatically generated upon processing of said source information by said document generator. - View Dependent Claims (129)
