"Engineering Broad-Spectrum Document Software:
Lessons from Ghostscript"
Computer-based systems for creating, distributing, and analyzing
documents are one of the centerpieces of the new "Information
Society." Documents are no longer static, physical entities. New
document technology allows us to create globally interconnected
systems that store information drawn from many media and deliver that
information as active documents that adapt to the needs of their
users. Furthermore, document technologies like XML are having a
profound impact on data modeling in general because of the way they
bridge and integrate a variety of paradigms (database,
object-oriented, and structured document).
Document engineering is an emerging discipline within computer science
that investigates systems for documents in any form and in all
media. Like software engineering, document engineering is concerned
with principles, tools and processes that improve our ability to
create, manage, and maintain documents.
