Subject: document
Greetings! Apologies for the lapse in definition submissions! Conference travel and other lame excuses! ;-) document (and you thought you knew what this meant): 1. A term used on some systems (e.g. Intermedia <http://wombat.doc.ic.ac.uk/foldoc/foldoc.cgi?Intermedia>) for a hypertext <http://wombat.doc.ic.ac.uk/foldoc/foldoc.cgi?hypertext> node <http://wombat.doc.ic.ac.uk/foldoc/foldoc.cgi?node>. It is sometimes used for a collection of nodes on related topics, possibly stored or distributed as one. (Foldoc) 2. Eric Wilde ducks the issus altogether. ;-) 3. (1) From the computer perspective, the term initially only referred to a word processing file. Since the advent of the Macintosh, Apple has called virtually any file created on the computer a document, and this usage has migrated to the Windows environment. See template <http://www.techweb.com/encyclopedia/defineterm?term=template> and style sheet <http://www.techweb.com/encyclopedia/defineterm?term=stylesheet>. (2) From a general office perspective, it is a paper form that has been filled out by typewriter or by hand. (From TechEncyclopedia) 4. A collection of information that is processed as a unit. A document is classified as being of a particular document type. (ISO 8879, my favorite) Comments? Suggestions? Hope everyone is having a great day!
