This is the help file for the following SVG Document Navigation files:
All information are in a tree, with intermediate nodes representing either W3C domains, activities, and groups (for the versions following the W3C structure) or logical/thematic grouping of the technologies. Leafs of the tree are the documents themselves. Note that when a thematic grouping is used, the same documents may appear at several places of the tree.
The slides represent the “current” status. This means that Candidate, Proposed and Proposed Edited Recommendations appear in the tree as long as these are the most recent versions of those documents. Newer version of Recommendations (e.g., XML Version 3) “hide” previous versions.
Navigation is done through clicking on the ellipses representing groups, domains, activities. Clicking on those ellipses would “move” the next substructure into the middle, making the next layer visible. One can go back to the previous level by clicking on the ellipse in the middle. The current position in the tree can also be seen on the breadcrumb on the upper left hand corner of the tree window. Note that the breadcrumb refers to the full name of the activity/group, whereas the ellipse includes a short name only.
Clicking on a leaf (i.e., on the document) in the versions without a history will pop up a separate window with the document itself.
Clinking on a leaf in the versions with history would pop up a rectangle, with the full title of the documents, its exact publication date and a history bar of the document. Clicking on the title of the document would again pop up a window with the document.
The history bar refers to the previous “incarnation” of the document in the recommendation track referring to the various stages. Vertical bars (primarily in the Working Draft stages) refer to the various Working Drafts published in the past. Previous versions of the recommendation can also be seen. Clinking on the vertical bars (including the left, i.e., starting date of CR-s, PR-s, etc) would open up a separate window with those documents. I.e., one can easily look into earlier releases of the document.
The slides rely heavily on Javascript, and cannot be used with SVG player without Javascript. You may want to check the SVG Implementations page for more details on players and on the latest versions of various SVG players.
