Document Class

An InformationContentElement that identifies the content of a document. The realized form of a document is called a DocumentCarrier (different class than Document). For example, a will is a legal document. The will published into a PDF file is an ElectronicDocumentCopy. The will printed onto paper is a PrintedDocumentCopy. In this example, the Document only identifies, names, and tracks the content of the will.
