Well it is lunch so here goes

 

A document is an element

it is no longer a documnet when it becomes something more

it becomes something more when it is acted upon

when acted upon it may become a record, evidence, an artifact, or....

 

If a document is never acted upon it remains what it is

it has potential value

it has no intrinsic value

Any value accrued drives from the action

 

well back to the ham sandwich

> I am preparing an article, that I hope will be published in an upcoming issue of the Infonomics magazine to answer the above question. Part of the article will discuss the traditional definitions of documents and records. I would like to get current views on the following question, regarding one of the qualifications of a document as a record: can a document rise to the level of a record, if the document has not been formally transmitted to or communicated with one or more recipients?
