Reflections of electronic documents

Over the weekend, wrote a couple of posts:. 'You know what electronic document? '.
and. ' The document - a collection of data and tools to ensure their treatment '.

And last night writing a second post, I realized what the fundamental problem of determining paper, and why we can not find a common understanding for the paper and electronic ( digital) paper.

In the traditional definition of a document refers to the content and details, but says nothing about the method of processing a document.
