Abstract:
A document management system (DMS) is a central repository used to track and store any type of information of value to an enterprise. A DMS can reduce the risk and costs associated with regulatory compliance and provide a mechanism for controlling documents through their entire life cycle, thus giving an enterprise greater control of document handling and efficiency in information processing. Most current approaches to DMS design are system dependent and involve specific hardware(e.g., firewall, server) and commercial software systems. This paper presents a theoretical framework for DMS in terms of at low-based conceptual model. It includes a description of a document's life cycle in terms of five inclusive stages: receiving, processing, creation, releasing, and transferring.
