An e-Document is any electronic document, structured or unstructured, which supports various formats and it is supporting functionality that fulfils a set of generic, domain or use case specific requirements.

Thus an e-Document carries information as payload and supports functions to be used in processing and presenting the information to the end-user, functions exposed as e-Document services. Therefor we may refer to e-Document as ‘e-Document as information’ or ‘e-Document as a service’.

From architecture to solution - workflow

Basic generic use case

Producer workflow 1. Providing the document:

• structure and describe the document using semantic tools; • tranform to agreed exchange format; • add annotations or free text to data level in the document; • add processing rules;

2. Secure the document: • attach timestamps and signatures; • encrypt the document;

3. Send the document: • validate the document and resulted metadata files; • package the document and the metadata files into an e-

Container format; • send the document to the document consumer using an

electronic delivery solution;

Consumer workflow 1. Receive the document:

• unpack the document; • validate the document and the metadata files; • acknowledge the reception of the document;

2. Process the document: • process metadata and rules; • process data and information;
