BAUMLBrowser Manual
1.0
Overview
This document describes the BAUMLBrowser application, a database browsing tool, which is used to browse and manipulate geometry information stored in an XML Database. BAUML, the "Building AUgmentation Markup Language", is an XML language to store geometry information of buildings and parts of these buildings like walls, floors and corridors. The recursive definition of the language allows to create a tree structure of spatial objects, where objects are composed of a number of smaller objects. The BAUMLBrowser application is capable of viewing and browsing such a BAUML tree and offers functions to insert, update and delete tree nodes. On the one hand it is an example application that demonstrates the usage of the Studierstube XML Database API and on the other hand it provides a reusable layer on top of this API to process BAUML documents.
The following sections describe the user interface of the application, the reusable core component and the various files needed to run the application on Microsoft Windows.
