Viewing system that supports multiple electronic document types
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a server connected to a network, the server receiving global navigational input data from users via the network, the server including;
at least one processor;
a database of technical manual content;
a memory operatively coupled to the at least one processor, the memory storing program instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the at least one processor to display electronic documents; and
a discrete pluggable interpreter of at least one electronic document responsive to at least one global navigational input data of a client user for generating a displayable output from informational input and contextual status, with the interpreter including a base semantics module and one or more extended semantics modules, a symbol table, and output module thereby allowing for the interoperability of interpreters for viewing of disparate electronic documents.

Abstract
A method of interpreting electronic documents, e.g., an interactive technical manual, provides an interpreter responsive to at least one global navigational input data of a client user in order to generate a displayable output. The displayable output is generated from informational input and a contextual status. The method of interpretation includes a base semantics module and any number of extended semantics modules, a symbol table, and an output module. A plurality of global navigational data are received at the interpreter, which associates and processes the informational data received with the contextual status and outputs displayable data which is renderable by the display system into a current view. A system and computer medium are also disclosed.
