GAMA ELECTRONIC PUBLICATIONS STANDARD C. Range Printing The retrieval software will support the printing of a range of pages. D.

Additionally, the retrieval software should be able to print all tables of content. 7.2.6 Revision Identification (Tracking and Control) A. Revised Material Identification The retrieval software must be capable of displaying revision symbols as they appear in graphics. For additional information, refer to GAMA Specifications 1 and 2. B. Effectivity Identification and Control Effectivity identification and control will be available as occurring in the original list of effective pages. When applicable the recommendations occurring in Section 7.3.6 should also be used. C. Presentation of Revision Information The retrieval software will provide a method of displaying the title of the publication being viewed, and the revision date of the current page via a vehicle such as a title strip, status bar or caption bar. D. Temporary Revisions The retrieval software must provide a method for visually distinguishing temporary revisions when the equivalent paper publication uniquely identifies temporary revisions (i.e. "yellow sheets"). 7.2.7 Data Integrity Data integrity assurance will be available as via the original list of effective pages. 7.2.8 Data Export The retrieval software may support the copying of a marked area of a graphic, at any magnification, to the Microsoft Windows® Clipboard for incorporation into other Microsoft Windows® applications. 7.2.9 Help The retrieval software will have the same requirements as Section 7.3.9. 7.3 Pageless Publication Functionality This subsection describes the requirements that apply to all pageless publications and retrieval software that utilizes the display of ASCII text rather than raster images of text pages as defined in Section 1.2.2 B of this specification. 7.3.1 Browse / Traversal (Navigation) The following represents the retrieval software's minimum requirements for browsing and navigation: A. Publication Front Matter Data Front Matter must be made available from the table of contents, and must appear in its original location during "page turning" (i.e., the beginning of a chapter or the beginning of a publication). 32 MARCH 1999
GAMA ELECTRONIC PUBLICATIONS STANDARD However, upon direct entry at the beginning of a publication or chapter, the user will be brought to the logical beginning of the information, not to the front matter. Refer to the glossary of terms appended to this specification for more information on front matter. B. TOC The retrieval software will provide a table of contents of text and graphic minimum revisable units for each publication that supports such structuring. The retrieval software must permit access into the publication via this table of contents. C. Illustrations and Tables The retrieval software will support the display of any illustration or table included, or referred to, in the text. Illustrations and tables (according to the rules defined in Section 5.2.5) will be available as scanned from the original paper source document. It is recommended that all illustrations and tables that are uniquely identified with a caption be accessible from a selection list. The following text and graphic screen display options are allowed: • Simultaneous text and graphic display in a single window (inline graphics) • Simultaneous text and graphic display in separate windows (overlapping or side-by-side) • Display of text or graphic in a single window (with a method for switching between text and graphics without an intermediate step) D. Backtracking The retrieval software will maintain a record of the user's navigation within and across publications during the current session. Departure points (the text being displayed at the time of leaving a MRU) will be tracked, and a mechanism will be provided to directly select and return to any of these departure points. The retrieval software should keep track of a minimum of the last 24 departure points during the current session. E. Bookmarks The retrieval software will provide support for user-definable bookmarks. The bookmark will record a specific position in the publication. The retrieval software will provide the user with a mechanism to access the list of previously defined bookmarks, and the ability to navigate to a bookmark's location. The retrieval software should permit the saving of user-defined bookmarks such that they can be recalled and re-used in future sessions. Upon revision of the publication by the author, the system relocated position of the bookmarks should conform to the following rules: • If a particular MRU contains a bookmark and that MRU has not been revised, the position of the bookmark is preserved within the MRU. • If an MRU containing a bookmark has been revised, but the text containing the bookmark has not changed, the bookmark is preserved within the MRU. • If an MRU containing a bookmark has been revised and the text containing the bookmark has changed, the bookmark repositions to the beginning of the MRU. • If an MRU containing a bookmark is eliminated, the bookmark is orphaned and repositions to the next higher level within the publication (i.e. section, chapter, title page).
