LINCKS fits very well in as a document or image server on a single site, and in particular the support of multiple views generated from the same information.

The linking mechanism allows easy sharing of information between several documents (e.g. headers, footers, personal information etc.).

The implementation of the first prototype was rather straight forward, since we could build on top of the CIM layer (section 2). The CIM layer creates the reference structure and we only had to add the extra statements in FORMATX for all GPDs and the small application language. Based on the short comings discovered during the implementation of the prototype, we have started the work on a second front end:
