Finally, each structural unit (including graphics and formulas) will be entered into
a database, indexed (at least) by the annotations described above.
By this means, collections of such document fragments matching various search criteria
can be found. Reassembling these pieces allows the construction
of a wide variety of quick reference guides or other distillations of material,
whether we had planned them in advance or not.
