A document-centered user interface architecture for a computer system employs parts as the fundamental building blocks of all documents. All data is stored in the system as a part, which is comprised of contents and an associated editor. The contents and the functionality of the editor are available to the user wherever the part is located, whether in a document, on a desktop or in a folder. Parts function as containers for other parts, thereby facilitating the compilation and editing of multimedia or compound documents. A data structure, labelled a frame, functions as an interface between a container part and an embedded part, and allows the two parts to negoclate with respect to graphic structure without requiring extensive knowledge of one another's internal constraints.

Une architecture d'interface avec l'utilisateur centrée sur des documents pour un sytème informatique utilise des parties comme éléments fondamentaux de tous les documents. Toutes les données sont enregistrées dans le système sous forme de parties qui comprennent un contenu et un éditeur associé. Le contenu et la fonction éditeur sont à disposition de l'utilisateur partout où se trouvent les parties, que ce soit dans un document, sur le bureau ou dans un fichier. Les parties peuvent fonctionner comme conteneurs d'autres parties, ce qui facilite la compilation et l'édition de documents multimédia ou composites. Une structure de données, appelée cadre, sert d'interface entre une partie qui fait office de conteneur et une partie incorporée, et permet des négociations entre les deux parties pour ce qui est de leur structure graphique sans qu'une connaissance exhaustive des contraintes internes des deux parties soit nécessaire.
