NAME
       ScrollKeeper - An open document cataloging and metadata management
       system.

DESCRIPTION
       ScrollKeeper is a system for managing document metadata.  Its primary
       function is to act as a card catalog for documents, keeping track of
       what documents are available, where they can be found, and various
       attributes of the documents such as their language, format, subject,
       version, and position in a contents list.  It also manages other
       metadata such as document indices.

       ScrollKeeper acts as a middle layer between applications and help
       browsers.  When applications install documentation, the documentation
       is registered with ScrollKeeper.  Any ScrollKeeper-aware help browser
       on the system can then access this information.  In this way,
       ScrollKeeper is a compatibility layer which allows any help browser to
       interface to all the documentation on a system, provided the package
       which ships the documentation registers it with ScrollKeeper.  It also
       removes much of the burden from application packagers and help browser
       developers by providing a standard set of tools and by doing much of
       the work inside of ScrollKeeper.
