This represent my contribute for the second edition of Ontogov06, in this session I had explayn concepts towards the realization of a common framework for document exchange cooperation

4. Introduction
In these years, documents are transforming into:
 Electronic Document
 Digital Document
 Which are the differences between electronic
and digital?
 Electronic regards the document acquisition?
 Digital regards the document fruition?

5. Electronic Document
Electronic document solves the problem of “electronic
acquisition” of existent documents

6. Electronic Document
The advantages to use electronic document are:
 [costs] reduction of edifice rent for archives ;
 [transfer] document portability on different
devices;
… so, electronic = solution ?
 Interoperability at application layer?
 Knowledge, information retrieval?

7. Digital Document
Digital document solves the problem of:
Model

Fruition

Archive

Sharing

Retrieval

…. of documents

8. Digital Document
XML Schema
MetaDatarepository
XSLT
Document
Information
XML Data
Digital Archive
Digital Document allows data interchange and
interoperability at the application layer

9. Digital Document
The advantages to use digital document are:
 [interoperability] using standard document
structure and technologies;
 [cooperation] the creation and the fruition
depend by different actors (PAs);
 [persistence] data is independent from the
application layer;
… and more 

10. Agenda
 Various type of “*-Document”
 Electronic Document
 Digital Document
 The concept of Intelligent Document
 Architecture and Management
 Toward d-Government

11. Intelligent Document
 Electronic document is the current necessity!
 We have to understand current problems
 Digital Document is the solution!
 Tomorrow we’ll use technology efficiently
 … and Intelligent Document?
 It’s the architecture 
 It has to manage electronic and digital document

12. Intelligent Document
Intelligent Document is a result of an
orchestration of services that allow the
following document properties:
Multi Composed;

Multi Version;

Multi Dependence;

Multi Data Type;

Multi Platform;

Camerino, 01/07/2005 Romeo Pruno – romeo.pruno@unicam.it 12

13. Intelligent Document
Multi Composed
an Intelligent Document has
to contain information both
on its state and on the
application domain in which XML Schema
its creation and/or MetaDatarepository
distribution has made. The
processes or the users has
to mutually
Digital
compete to its creation. Document
Camerino, 01/07/2005 Romeo Pruno – romeo.pruno@unicam.it 13

14. Intelligent Document
Multi Version
the data truck has to be
guaranteed from the
persistence of the various
file versions. Every user will V 1.1
have only to fill out the part Digital
Digital Archive Document
of the document that are
within his competences.
V 1.2
V 1.3

15. Intelligent Document
Multi Dependence
it consists in the creation of
the document from a
collection of other
documents, through a DOMAIN A
modular architecture that is Document DOMAIN B
Information
specialized according to the Invoice Invoice
application domain, in which 01-06 09b#23
it is produced.
Invoice 01-
06 09b#23

16. Intelligent Document
Multi Data type
more types of data have the
possibility to cohabit inside
the structure of the
Intelligent Document, if
otherwise specified in the
file schema.
XML XML
Schema Schema
Digital
Document
Camerino, 01/07/2005 Romeo Pruno – romeo.pruno@unicam.it 16

17. Intelligent Document
Multi Platform
the formation and the use of
the Intelligent Document
they have to assure the
DOMAIN A
interoperability at the
application level. XML Schema

18. Agenda
 Various type of “*-Document”
 Electronic Document
 Digital Document
 The concept of Intelligent Document
 Architecture and Management
 Toward d-Government

19. Towards d-Government
 At this time, e-Government helps organizations
towards IT
 PA and PAL are moving own data on the web;
 Electronic identity;
 Citizens have to study new technologies 
 A.d. 2010?… d-Government uses this
experience for reinventing government
 PA and PAL manage own/their data;
 Digital identity;
 Citizens are the principal actors of this process.
