Abstract

In this paper, we present a concept, called Living Documents, for accessing and searching for digital information in decentralized and distributed systems. Our approach is based upon a fine-grained document concept which glues computational services, data and meta data together. Viewing documents as micro servers is particularly suited in environments where the documents' content is changing continuously and frequently. We discuss the architectural benefits of Living Documents based on a case study of an existing state-of-the-art Web application. Following the concept of Living Documents a revised version of the Web application was developed.
