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!
