Over the past decades, technological advances have drastically changed the way organizations work. One thing that has not changed however, is that they are still required to draft, maintain and manage documents. Nowadays most of these documents are drawn up and stored in an electronic way. Yet their structure is in essence still the same as their analogue and physical predecessors. In this paper, we present a new modular approach to document management that enables the design of content-agnostic and evolvable documents. This new approach imagines documents as multidimensional and ever-changing entities instead of mere static representation of their analogue predecessors. Based on modularity and Normalized Systems reasoning, this approach represents an alternative to the out-of-date paradigm of document management that is currently used. Modularity-based document management leads to easier maintenance of the text modules as they offer a clear aggregate structure and any information is stored in only one text module. This enables both re-use and greater versatility of the information stored in the text modules. As such, the approach presented in this paper enables the creation of truly evolvable documents according to the Normalized Systems theory. |
