Dynaweb Structure
Dynaweb publishing software from INSO allows users to browse and search across documents maintained in SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Lanuguage) and translated on-the-fly to HTML for web browsers. Because it is intended for document publishing, Dynaweb uses the convention of the electronic "book" and "collection" as a basic organizing principle. Dynaweb electronic "books" and "collections" should not be confused with actual books or archival collections which reside in the Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library at Duke University.
Dynaweb electronic books are grouped into collections in the same manner that files are grouped into folders on a PC or Mac. The arrangement is hierarchial in nature:
may contain:
An electronic book in Dynaweb corresponds to an individual SGML document. Sometimes the documents are designed to be browsable within dynaweb. Other documents are large databases or lists which are designed to be accessed by searching.
Each Dynaweb collection on the Digital Scriptorium Dynaweb Internet Server contains a link 
to a homepage which contains information on how best to use that electronic resource.
