Library Tool

Interface Functionality

A XML configuration file is used to collect all kinds of 'Table of Contents' - definitions. The Library Tool reads this configuration file and generates a treeview graphical user interface similar to the Bookmark Archive.
The Treeview Nodes can be clicked to open the contents in a Browser Window. The contents of different interest can be linked and shared to users by placing the configuration file on a Web Server and reference this file with the Library Tool.

Area of Application

Table of contents for Product Catalogs or Multimedia Archives
Link structure of Websites and Web applications
Folder structure for Network Shares
Table of contents for technical knowledge bases
Table of contents for Online-Books
