The nature of an individual document is often defined by\udits relationship to selected tasks, societal values, and cultural meaning.\udThe identifying features, regardless of whether the document content\udis textual, aural or visual, are often delineated in terms of descriptions\udabout the document, for example, intended audience, coverage of topics, purpose of creation, structure of presentation as well as relationships\udto other entities expressed by authorship, ownership, production process,\udand geographical and temporal markers. To secure a comprehensive view\udof a document, therefore, we must draw heavily on cognitive and/or\udcomputational resources not only to extract and classify information at\udmultiple scales, but also to interlink these across multiple dimensions in\udparallel. Here we present a preliminary thought experiment for fingerprinting documents using textual documents visualised and analysed at multiple scales and dimensions to explore patterns on which we might\udcapitalise.
