Generic description of a software document environment

UQ* is an evolving generic language-based environment for manipulation of structured documents. The environment is intended to capture both syntactic and relational structure within and between documents and to support user interaction via both textual and diagrammatic views. This paper illustrates the innovative features of the environment description language used to instantiate a UQ* environment.
