Wilkinson R., Arnold-Moore T., Fuller M., Sacks-Davis R., Thom J., Zobel J. Document Computing. Technologies for Managing Electronic Document Collections

Springer, 1998. — 211 p.In this book we discuss the important aspects of document computing and recommend technologies and techniques for document management, with an emphasis on the processes that are appropriate when computers are used to create, access, and publish documents. We describe the nature of documents, their components and structure, and how they can be represented; examine how documents are used and controlled; explore the issues and factors affecting design and implementation of a document management strategy; and give a detailed case study. Our analysis and recommendations are grounded in the findings of the latest research.
The book covers the following topics. Document description, including document components and description languages. Document production, including creation, transformation, and versioning. Document delivery, including transmission and presentation. Document publication, including registration, indexing, versioning, and storage. Document discovery, including query languages and matching techniques. Document removal, including removal of access paths and removal of data. Document control, including understanding business processes, workflow, and central document management. A case study, explaining the application of these principles to the management of legislation for the Parliament of Tasmania.
This book brings together concepts, research, and practice from diverse areas including document computing, information retrieval, librarianship, records management, and business process re-engineering. It will be of value to anyone working in these areas, whether as a researcher, a developer, or a user. The book can be used for graduate classes in document computing and related fields, by developers and integrators of document management systems and document management applications, and by anyone wishing to understand the processes of document management.Document Lifecycle
