Abstract

Word processing systems ignore the fact that the history of a text document contains crucial information for its management. In this paper, we present database-based word processing, focusing on the incorporated document management system. During the creation process of a document, meta data are being gathered. This information is generated on the level of the whole document, on sections of a document or even on individual characters and is used for advanced retrieval by so-called dynamic folders, which are superior to advanced hierarchical file systems.
