Active documents as next generation document technologies may offer a solution to the system immanent problems of traditional information distribution techniques. The purpose of the Minerva framework is to serve as a test bed and implementation base for these active document models and applications. Among other things, Minerva combines a component-oriented plugin mechanism, flexible and extensible user interactions, and platform independence in a homogenous way. Minerva documents are based on non-linear ordering of information, have a notion of persistency, consistency, a role concept, stateful information and a high degree of flexibility using component-technologies which have been developed during the EASYCOMP project
