Tag: documents

The word originates from the Latin documentum, which denotes a “teaching” or “lesson”: the verb doce denotes “to teach”.

Contemporarily, “document” is not defined by its transmission medium, e.g., paper, given the existence of electronic documents.Documents are also distinguished from “realia”, which are three-dimensional objects that would otherwise satisfy the definition of “document” because they memorialize or represent thought; documents are considered more as 2 dimensional representations.While documents are able to have large varieties of customization, all documents are able to be shared freely, and have the right to do so, creativity can be represented by documents, also.
