Abstract

The paper proposes an approach to the definition of a document management system oriented to the support of cooperative activities based on multiple-presentation documents. In our view, multiple-presentation means that the informative content of a document can be presented to the reader by using different shapes, styles and levels of detail, according to the reader profile. The Zelig document management system is based on the definition of an only conceptual (i.e. abstract) document, which is mapped to several concrete documents, each used to fulfil a different communication goal. A prototype implementation of the Zelig system has been carried out within the MS-Windows environment.
