- Abstract
- This is the second in a series of reports leading to the development of a standards processing software capability. The first report was Performance Requirements for Standards Processing Software. The reader of this report will need to have read and be familiar with the concepts and terms used in the first report. This report provides the complete functional specifications with establish the technical basis for the development of the software. The salient features are: 1) the integration of all user functions into a single systems, 2) maintenance of all information in a data base, 3) facilities for convenient user interaction, 4) facilities for processing and combining large standards subdivided into several units, such as chapters, and 5) facilities for interfacing with additional capabilities to be developed in the future, both external and internal to the system.
