Document, strictly, in law, that which can serve as evidence or proof, and is written or printed, or has an inscription or any significance that can be \u201cread\u201d; thus a picture, authenticated photograph, seal or the like would furnish \u201cdocumentary evidence.\u201d More generally the word is used for written or printed papers that provide information or evidence on a subject.<\/p>\n
The Latin documentum, from which the word is derived, meant, in classical times, a lesson, example or proof (docere, to teach), and only in medieval Latin came to be applied to an instrumentum, or record in writing. The classical Latin use is found in English; thus Jeremy Taylor (Works, ed. 1835, i. 815) speaks of punishment being a \u201csingle and sudden document if instantly inflicted\u201d (see Diplomatic documents here for more information<\/a>; and see also Evidence here<\/a>). (1)<\/p>\n An published unexamined German patent document (see Auglegeschrift).<\/p>\n The following is a basic concept of Document in relation to information retrieval. In addition to this, Document may be applied to legal texts, including case law, legislation and scholarly works. A document is a combination of text and medium. Texts cannot exist without embodiment in some medium, whether ephemeral, like airwaves, or longer lasting, like paper, film, or electronic media for digital data. Usually we use document to refer only to texts recorded in the longer-lasting media, and it is these documents that are susceptible to indexing and later retrieval.<\/p>\n The following is a basic concept of Inverse Document Frequency in relation to information retrieval. In addition to this, Inverse Document Frequency may be applied to legal texts, including case law, legislation and scholarly works. Inverse document frequency (IDR) is a measure of how infrequently a term occurs in documents in a collection or Information Retrieval database, hence the term inverse document frequency. Sometimes term frequency (TF) within documents does not help much in distinguishing one text from another within a single collection or Information Retrieval database. Take librarianship, for example.<\/p>\n The word library will probably occur in most if not all texts in a collection or Information Retrieval database on librarianship, so the mere fact that it occurs frequently in a text doesnt tell us very much. But comparing frequency counts in single texts with the overall occurrence for the same words in an entire collection or Information Retrieval database often helps to pinpoint the more important terms. We can identify words that are unusually frequent in particular texts — words that occur frequently in some texts but do not occur frequently across the entire collection. This relative frequency can be more useful in finding useful documents than simple word frequency within documents. The fewer the documents that have a term (or the lower its frequency in most texts), the higher the IDF score. The IDF score can be combined with term frequency (TF) within particular documents to help identify useful documents.<\/p>\n Recorded information or object which can be treated as a unit. Source: ISO 15489 (draft international standard).<\/p>\n Note: a document may be on paper, microform, magnetic or any other electronic medium. It may include any combination of text, data, graphics, sound, moving pictures or any other forms of information. A single document may consist of one or several data objects.
