>The tools are coming together, if slowly, to edit and format

|
DocBook markup. But DocBook itself is a means, not an end. We'll need
|
|
other standards besides DocBook itself to accomplish the
|
|
searchable-documentation-database objective I laid out at the
|
|
beginning of this document. There are two big issues: document
|
|
cataloguing and metadata.</P

project aims directly to meet this need. It provides a simple set of

script hooks that can be used by package install and uninstall

productions to register and unregister their documentation into and

out of a shared, searchable system-wide database.</P

|
|
This is a standard for indexing open-source documentation analogous to
|
|
a library card-catalog system. The idea is to support rich search
|
|
facilities that use the card-catalog metadata as well as the source
|
|
text of the documentation itself.</P
