摘要

What is a document? It is of course a fundamental question - if not even the funding question par excellence - of every possible science of bibliography, documentation, librarianship, information, or however else we choose, or will choose, to call it. And just like for every funding questions, it is not taken for granted that it had been handled and answered in a satisfactory and definitive way at the dawning of the historical evolution ofthe respective discipline; in fact, during the last years it has been so much discussed, and it will still be discussed during this meeting.In this multimedia and hypertext age I would take for definite that a document could be not only necessarily textual or alphanumeric and that both the material supports – be they analogical or digital - that will constitute document’s substratum and the techniques usedto produce, distribute, preserve, organize and use them, will be innumerable and diversified.
