An electronicdocument is any electronic media Content media and publishing content other than computer program s or system Computer file file s that are intended to be used in either an electronic form or as printed output. Originally, any computer data were considered as something internal &mdash the final data output was always on paper . However, the development of computer network s has made it so that in most cases it is much more convenient to distribute electronic documents than printed ones. And the improvements in electronic display technologies mean that in most cases it is possible to view documents on screen instead of printing them thus saving paper and the space required to store the printed copies . However, using electronic documents for final presentation instead of paper has created the problem of multiple incompatible file format s. Even plain text computer file s are not free from this problem &mdash e.g. under MS DOS , most programs could not work correctly with Unix UNIX style text files see newline , and for non English speakers, the different code page s always have been a source of trouble. Even more problems are connected with complex file format s of various ... Adobe s Portable Document Format Acrobat Reader . The other solution is the development of standardized non Proprietary software proprietary file format s such as HTML and OpenDocument , and electronic documents for specialized uses have specialized formats&ndash the specialized electronic article s in physics use TeX or PostScript . reflist See also ElectronicDocument Professional Electronic page Electronic paper Paperless office Born digital Xplor international The ElectronicDocument Systems ... document http www.msimaging.com faq.asp Digital Imaging Frequent Questions Category Electronic documents Category Word processors software type stub bg ca Document electr nic de Elektronisches Dokument es Documento electr nico fr Document lectronique ko hr Elektroni ki ... more details
The EDP ElectronicDocument Professional is a professional designation awarded by Xplor International for participants in the electronicdocument industry who have satisfied a number of criteria. The EDP is not a measure of specific knowledge, but awardees normally have a broad knowledge of the electronicdocument industry along with specific knowledge in one or more areas. Thus, the EDP differs from certifications such as the CDIA from CompTIA in which the awardee has passed a formal exam. Rather, the EDP is more closely related to the older MIT and LIT designations from AIIM . Generally, the EDP does show that the awardee has been in the industry for at least 5 years, and has participated in at least 3 major projects showing competence in a number of bodies of knowledge . The EDP program is regulated by the EDP Commission of Xplor International , which is a body of senior professionals in the electronicdocument industry who set the standards and judge the qualifications of the applicants. History The first EDP class as the annual group of awardees is called was in 1990, when 12 industry professionals were given the award. In 1991, the class was much smaller only 6 , but in 1992 and in all the years following, the number of awardees has generally been double digits, with as many ... as an essential part of being a professional in the electronicdocument industry, with the result ... are M EDPs.

otheruses Document Management System The ElectronicDocument System EDS also known as the Document Presentation System was an early hypertext 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 . EDS used a dedicated RAMTech raster display and VAX 11 VAX 11 780 computer to create and navigate a network of graphic pages containing interactive graphic buttons. Graphic buttons had programed behaviors such as invoking an animation, linking to another page, or exposing an addition level of detail. The system had three automatically created navigation aids 1 a timeline showing thumbnail images of pages traversed 2 a neighbors display showing thumbnails of all pages linking to the current page on the left, and all pages reachable from the current page on the right 3 a visual display of thumbnail page images arranged by page keyword, color coded by chapter. Unlike most hypertext systems, EDS incorporated state variables associated with each page. For example, clicking a button indicating a particular hardware fault might set a state variable that would expose a new set of buttons with links to a relevant choice of diagnostic pages. The EDS model prefigured graphic hypertext systems such as Apple s HyperCard .

ElectronicDocument and Records Management System EDRMS is a type of content management system and refers to the combined technologies of document management system document management and Records management Electronic records management systems records management systems as an integrated system. TOCright The aim of ElectronicDocument and Records Management Electronicdocument and records management aims to enable organization s to manage document s and records throughout the DocumentDocument life cycle document life cycle , from creation to destruction. Typically, systems consider a document a work in progress until it has undergone review , approval , lock down and potentially publication , at which point it becomes a formal business record record within the organization. Once a document achieves the status of a record, the organization may apply best practice best practice or legally enforced retention policies which state how the second half of the Records Life Cycle record life cycle will progress. This typically involves retention and protection from change , until some events occur which relate to the record and which trigger the final disposition schedule to apply to the record. Eventually, typically at a set time after these events, the record undergoes File deletion destruction . EDRMS software A range of software vendors offer these systems at an organization enterprise level i.e. targeted at managing all documents and records within an enterprise . These vendors have historically provided electronicdocument management system s and have acquired smaller records management system companies.

Document engineering is a document centric synthesis of complementary ideas from information and systems analysis, electronic publishing, business process analysis, and business informatics to ensure that the documents and processes make sense to the people and applications that need them. Originating from research published by Robert J. Glushko and Tim McGrath, document engineering attempts to unify these different analysis and modeling perspectives and helps to specify, design, and implement documents and the processes that create and consume them. In the context of document engineering, document generally refers to ordered pieces of information used by computer applications or web services rather than directly by people. It has particular relevance in the areas of XML vocabulary design. The principles of document engineering were applied to the development of the Universal Business Language OASIS Universal Business Language . From 2003 to 2007, the University of California at Berkeley operated a research center for document engineering, which has been subsumed by its program in Information and Service Design. ref http cde.berkeley.edu ref The conventional discipline that most resembles document engineering is probably business informatics .

Unreferenced date January 2008 Intelligent document is a general term to describe electronic documents with more functionality than a page designed to emulate paper . Formats include PDF from Adobe Systems Adobe , InfoPath from Microsoft , Cardiff Software and XForms from W3C , and the non programming solutions DocFire, Exari and Intelledox Pty Ltd Intelledox . Each is based on using XML as a format for data . Intelligent documents are essentially interactive electronic documents. Intelligent documents include Form document forms that change on request, personalized web pages, and personalised presentations. They usually require web access and Server computing server software. Intelligent documents are used to help automate business processes, improve customer service, and reduce costs. Intelligent documents are also being used by marketing firms to target consumer s more precisely. Programming marketing documents with customer data helps to improve customer loyalty, increase response rates, reduce marketing costs, and build brand recognition. Some examples would be the online shopping site Amazon.com and the free email service Gmail from Google which uses AJAX technology to add intelligence to its documents. Other more document centric examples include commercial lending or leasing documents where, by the transactional nature, they can be automated using an assembly line approach with the logic and data embedded directly into the document. The future of the intelligent document includes tight integration with meaning based computing , allowing intelligent completion of forms with recommendations on subject matter experts and related documents as well as dynamic regeneration based on rules or logic. Today s more advanced document automation systems allow users to create their own data and rules logic without the need for programming. See also Business intelligence Document ...

Document classification categorization is a problem in information science . The task is to assign an electronicdocument to one or more Categorization categories , based on its contents. Document classification tasks can be divided into two sorts supervised document classification where some external mechanism such as human feedback provides information on the correct classification for documents, and unsupervised document classification , where the classification must be done entirely without reference to external information. There is also a semi supervised document classification , where parts of the documents are labeled by the external mechanism. Techniques Document classification techniques include naive Bayes classifier tf idf latent semantic indexing support vector machine s SVM artificial neural network k nearest neighbor algorithm kNN Decision tree learning decision trees , such as ID3 algorithm ID3 or C4.5 Concept Mining Rough set based classifier Soft set based classifier and approaches based on natural language processing .

A living document or dynamic document is a document which may be continually edited and updated by either a limited or unrestricted group. A simple example of a living document is an article in Wikipedia , in contrast to dead or static documents, such as an article in a single edition of the Encyclop dia Britannica . A living document may or may not have a framework for updates, changes, or adjustments. This type of document without proper context can change away from its original purpose through multiple uncontrolled edits. This is different than an evergreen document that is written in a way that is relevant to a specific audience over a long period of time. This relevance comes from a universal acceptance or application of document contents. However, a living document may evolve through updates, be expanded as needed, and serve a different purpose over time. Living documents are changed through revisions that may or may not reference previous iterative changes. The rate of document decay depends on the structure of the original document, or original intent of such document, or guidelines for modifying such document. In Business In business a living document may fall under corporate change management or be shared among a team. It may start as a draft work that at some time graduates into general acceptance, or may originate as part of a formal documentation process. Regardless of the degree of formality, a living document needs rules or guidelines for its modification. Such guidelines allow and should ideally encourage the document s evolution over time. It is in this sense of growth that the document can be thought of as living.

Document Modelling looks at the inherent structure in documents. It looks not at the structure in formatting which is the classic realm of word processing tools, but at the structure in content. Because document content is typically viewed as the ad hoc result of a creative process, the art of document modelling is still in its infancy. Most document modelling comes in the form of document templates evidenced most often as word processing documents, fillable PDF forms and, more recently, XML templates. The particular strength of XML in this context is its ability to model document components in a tree like structure, and its separation of content and style. Document modelling goes beyond mere form filling and mail merge to look at the structure of information in, for example, a legal document, a contract, an inspection report, or some form of analysis. Document modelling therefore looks at the structures and patterns of the written work, and breaks it down into different options or branches. It then labels the branches and the results. Without effective document modelling, it is difficult to get full value from a document automation initiative, for example, using document assembly software. But by using a model that contains hundreds and thousands of branches, a user can create close to infinite structured variations almost to the point that such systems can rival the unstructured drafting of a specialist. In fact, the results of a sophisticated document model can surpass those of the specialist in terms of lack of error and consistency of prose.
