Abstract

We discuss a collection of document-oriented software design patterns and tools used by a medium-sized software firm during implementation of an autonomous extension of already used business system. The attitudes are enabled by a document management system used as a data tier managing documents being similar to generalized spreadsheets. It enables construction of easily usable interfaces of software entities, typically software services. End users feel it as a transparent variant of their everyday activities. The built (sub)systems can have many further crucial quality characteristics. The system is transparent, modifiable, and has many further desirable properties. They are applicable in small as well as in large projects. We show that properly applied document-oriented philosophy enables many interesting and usable software engineering solutions.
