A Theory of Presentation and its Implications for the Design of Online Technical Documentation

This study proposes a theory of presentation and discusses its implications for the design of online technical documentation. The theory is based on an investigation of how professional service engineers use technical documents relating to the oil system of a commercial aircraft engine. A second source was the design and evaluation of a novel hypermedia document system, the cinegram, which constitutes the practical part of the submission. The cinegram prototype uses animated diagrams and other media to show processes within an aircraft engine’s oil system.
