Abstract

A novel strategy for the representation and manipulationof distributed documents, potentially complex andheterogeneous, is presented in this paper. The documentunder the proposed model is represented in a hierarchicalstructure. Associated metadata' describes the flexiblehierarchy with the scope of dynamically restructuring thetree at runtime. All useful functionals can also be includedwithin the hierarchy to minimize reliance on externalprograms in manipulating sensitive data. Thisgives the proposed model two key properties: generality(capable of representing any document format includingfuture innovations) and autonomy (non-reliance on externalprograms). The model also allows incorporation ofadditional features for security and access control. Biometricperson authentication measures are introduced. Abrief example illustrates the key ideas.
