The Penmachno Document was drawn up at Penmachno in Gwynedd on 19 December 1294 by Madog ap Llywelyn at the height of his revolt against English rule in Wales. Though unremarkable in its content the document consists of the grant of two parcels of land to one Bleddyn Fychan its importance lies in the fact that it is the only surviving document issued by Madog in which he styles himself prince of Wales . Notable signatories The document was signed by a number of prominent persons in native society in north Wales, including three descendants of Ednyfed Fychan , the seneschal of two earlier princes of Wales. One of them, Tudur ab Gronw or Tudur Hen , is described as our steward in the document, suggesting that Madog had or intended to reconstitute the prince s council on which the governance of Wales rested until the loss of independence in 1283. As Edward I s invasion of Wales proceeded, the terms of the document quickly became irrelevant, as the land referred to in it reverted once more to English control.

The Sung Document is a work of a China Chinese author circa 1178, during the Song Dynasty . It states that Muslim sailors reached a region called Mu Lan Pi , which, though normally identified as Spain, has been claimed to be some part of the Americas specifically, present day California . If the document is authentic, and furthermore if the identification of Mu Lan Pi with America is correct, then it is one of the earliest records of pre Columbian trans oceanic contact pre Columbian trans oceanic travel from the Eurasia n continent to the Americas. However both the authenticity of the Sung Document and the identification of Mu Lan Pi with America are doubtful. The historian Joseph Needham is open to the possibility but doubts that Arabic ships at the time would have been able to withstand a return journey over such a long distance across the Atlantic Ocean and points out that a return journey would have been impossible without knowledge of prevailing winds and currents. Needham states that there is no evidence that these were known five centuries before the Portuguese used them. ref Cite book title The Shorter Science and Civilisation in China volume 3 author Joseph Needham & Colin A.

A living document or dynamic document is a document which may be continually edited and updated by either a limited or unrestricted group. A simple example of a living document is an article in Wikipedia , in contrast to dead or static documents, such as an article in a single edition of the Encyclop dia Britannica . A living document may or may not have a framework for updates, changes, or adjustments. This type of document without proper context can change away from its original purpose through multiple uncontrolled edits. This is different than an evergreen document that is written in a way that is relevant to a specific audience over a long period of time. This relevance comes from a universal acceptance or application of document contents. However, a living document may evolve through updates, be expanded as needed, and serve a different purpose over time. Living documents are changed through revisions that may or may not reference previous iterative changes. The rate of document decay depends on the structure of the original document, or original intent of such document, or guidelines for modifying such document. In business In business a living document may fall under corporate change management or be shared among a team. It may start as a draft work that at some time graduates into general acceptance, or may originate as part of a formal documentation process. Regardless of the degree of formality, a living document needs rules or guidelines for its modification. Such guidelines allow and should ideally encourage the document s evolution over time. It is in this sense of growth that the document can be thought of as living. In pastoral Theology In pastoral Theology the living document refers to an individual person.

Document Modelling looks at the inherent structure in documents. It looks not at the structure in formatting which is the classic realm of word processing tools, but at the structure in content. Because document content is typically viewed as the ad hoc result of a creative process, the art of document modelling is still in its infancy. Most document modelling comes in the form of document templates evidenced most often as word processing documents, fillable PDF forms and, more recently, XML templates. The particular strength of XML in this context is its ability to model document components in a tree like structure, and its separation of content and style. Document modelling goes beyond mere form filling and mail merge to look at the structure of information in, for example, a legal document, a contract, an inspection report, or some form of analysis. Document modelling therefore looks at the structures and patterns of the written work, and breaks it down into different options or branches. It then labels the branches and the results. Without effective document modelling, it is difficult to get full value from a document automation initiative, for example, using document assembly software. But by using a model that contains hundreds and thousands of branches, a user can create close to infinite structured variations almost to the point that such systems can rival the unstructured drafting of a specialist. In fact, the results of a sophisticated document model can surpass those of the specialist in terms of lack of error and consistency of prose.

Document engineering is a document centric synthesis of complementary ideas from information and systems analysis, electronic publishing, business process analysis, and business informatics to ensure that the documents and processes make sense to the people and applications that need them. Originating from research published by Robert J. Glushko and Tim McGrath, document engineering attempts to unify these different analysis and modeling perspectives and helps to specify, design, and implement documents and the processes that create and consume them. In the context of document engineering, document generally refers to ordered pieces of information used by computer applications or web services rather than directly by people. It has particular relevance in the areas of XML vocabulary design. The principles of document engineering were applied to the development of the Universal Business Language OASIS Universal Business Language . From 2003 to 2007, the University of California at Berkeley operated a research center for document engineering, which has been subsumed by its program in Information and Service Design. ref http cde.berkeley.edu ref The conventional discipline that most resembles document engineering is probably business informatics .

more footnotes date September 2011 The Bilali Muhammad Document is a handwritten, Arabic language Arabic manuscript on West African Sharia Islamic law . It was written by Bilali Mohammet in the 19th century. The document is currently housed in the library at the University of Georgia . History Bilali Mohammed was a slave from Sapelo Island , Georgia. According to the history of Sapelo Island written by Bilali descendent Cornelia Bailey God, Dr. Buzzard and The Bolito Man , Bilali was from Sierra Leone , and was a master cultivator of rice , a skill prized by Georgia slave owners. Willian Brown Hodgson 1857 and other scholars that met Bilali claim he was born in Timbo, Guinea , around 1770 to a well educated African Muslim family. He was enslaved as a teenager and was held as a slave for ten years in the Middle Caicos plantation of Dr. Bell, a Loyalist refugee from the American Revolutionary War , before he arrived in Georgia in 1802. In Georgia he became the head driver on Thomas Spalding s Sapelo Island based plantation. Bilali could speak Arabic and had Knowledge of the Qur an . In the War of 1812 , Bilali and his fellow Muslims helped to defend America from a British attack. Upon Bilali s death in 1857, it was discovered that he had written a thirteen page Arabic manuscript. At first, this was thought to have been his diary, but closer inspection revealed that the manuscript was a transcription of a Muslim legal treatise and part of West Africa s Muslim curriculum. The first partial translation of the document was undertaken in 1939 in the Journal of Negro History by Dr. Joseph Greenberg .

Evidence law Unreferenced date January 2009 An ancient document , in the law of evidence law evidence , refers to both a means of authentication for a piece of documentary evidence , and an exception to the hearsay rule . Authentication With respect to authentication, an ancient document is one that may be deemed authentic without a witness to attest to the circumstances of its creation because its age suggests that it is unlikely to have been falsified in anticipation of the litigation in which it is introduced. Under the American Federal Rules of Evidence FRE , a document is deemed authentic if it is at least twenty years old in a condition that makes it free from suspicion concerning its authenticity and found in a place where such a writing was likely to be kept. Many U.S. State states have similar rules, but may limit the application of the doctrine to specific kinds of documents such as dispositive instruments primarily conveyances, deeds, and wills , and may require the documents to be even older. By admitting an ancient document into evidence, it is presumed only that the document is what it purports to be, but there are no presumptions about the truth of the document s contents . A jury can still decide that the author of the document was lying or mistaken when the author wrote it. Hearsay Ancient documents also present an exception to the hearsay rule. FRE 803 16 applies this exception to all documents over twenty years old. Because of their age, they may be presented as evidence of the truth of any statements contained therein. Many states follow this rule as well, but again most limit it to documents that dispose of property. Category Evidence law ko ... more details
