Document Management is an important part of every company. Current studies meanwhile show that many organisations lack skills for effective and efficient document management. Systems can range from simple archiving systems to complex workflow systems for process automation. Document management and workflow is currently often seen as part of a document lifecycle management.
The lecture course provides an introduction to concepts and terms of document management and workflow. The five classes of document management will be discussed and example systems illustrate the different classes. The students will learn the use of such systems for intra-organisational and inter-organisational purposes. Web-based document management will be discussed based on XML as a document exchange format as well as on E-Commerce/E-Procurement as the application scenario.
