Abstract

Documentation is a practice concerned with all the processes involved in transferring documents from sources to users. The volume and variety of documents are immense, and consequently procedures of handling them are often pragmatic. Nevertheless, principles emerge that may be applied in practice. It is these principles that we may call ‘concepts of documentation’.
