Abstract:

This report describes the accomplishments of a pilot hypermedia information service embodying the conceptual definition of a pilot information base developed by the Software Engineering Institute SEI in support of the Advanced Research Projects Agency ARPA Software and Intelligent Systems Technology Office SISTO. This pilot effort was conducted in support of the Technology Cost-Benefit Analysis tasks within TOP 2-151, Software Engineering Technology Transition for Director, Defense Research and Engineering DDRE and ARPA. This report also describes the intended uses and user populations of the proposed information base, design issues that influenced the structure and contents of the information base, a proposed information model consisting of information content and linkages, the pilot information base including the technology selected for the initial pilot effort and the pilot capability, lessons learned from the pilot effort, and future plans relating to the information base efforts.
