Gerd Ballenberger asks:
What are the Do's and Dont's of writing information that should be reuseable
in a databased Document Management System?
Tony Markatos responds:
The main thing to be done to create highly reusable information is the same
whether a Document Management System is employed or the information is
written on the rear end of a a camel. Create highly modular (task oriented)
information and minimize the dependencies between the modules.
