Subject: Re: Thoughts on manual database design?
Might you not miss a manual if you listed all your
HP manuals and your only copy (identical to the HP
version) happened to be published by Apollo?

Yes, there is. That is why an *artifact* - a
given *hardcopy* of a
manual - has a *publisher*. As I mentioned in
an earlier reply at some
point to someone, a given manual applies to a
single machine
*manufacturer* (e.g., Apollo is considered the
manufacturer of the DN
series, even though, technically, later HP made
them for a year or two),
but a given manual with the same number the
applies to them might have
Apollo as a publisher (older copy) and HP (newer
copy - with the same
contents).
