ABSTRACT:
Particularly, a system and method are disclosed that enable an author of a subsection of a document quickly to locate referenced information in other parts of the document or different documents prepared by other authors and then incorporate that information in their own document. An author tags information in their document that other authors might wish to import. Each time the document is updated, or as requested by the author, the author's tags and other tags that reference information that is importable by default (e.g., section headings, figures, tables) are exported to a tag repository that is accessible to all other authors. The tag repository also holds the tags generated by other authors from different documents. Using information finding/linking programs any of the authors can search the tag repository and select tags corresponding to information they would like to import into their own documents. The information can be imported by reference, by hypertext link, or by simple copying, among other techniques.
