The Electronic Document System (EDS) was an early hypertext system – also known as the Interactive Graphical Documents (IGD) hypermedia system – focused on creation of interactive documents such as equipment repair manuals or computer-aided instruction texts with embedded links and graphics. EDS was created as 1978–1981 research project at Brown University by Steven Feiner, Sandor Nagy and Andries van Dam.
