This paper addresses the management of a multimedia and hypermedia documentary repository within the framework of aeronautical documentation, whose the most important features are its high volume and its high revision frequency. The requirements of such a documentation are recalled, needs are listed and a state-of-the-art on multimedia document works is presented. At the end, the paper proposes some modelling to manage the issues raised by the needs analysis, in particular about multimedia and hypermedia documents management within a documentary repository.
