Abstract
A system for automatically assembling product manuals based on a product model, a delivery model and a formal configuration specification includes a structure instantiator for instantiating a product manual structure from a model-specific configuration specification to create a logical structure for a product manual. The product manual structure incorporates product information from a product model, the product manual structure including document objects. A manual configurer is included for configuring the product manual by binding the document objects in the logical structure to proper versions of component documents stored in a document database. A manual generator is also included for generating the product manual by physically extracting the document objects from the document database to a directory, based on a delivery model. A method for automatically assembling product manuals is also included.
