Document: Non-Fictional Fictional

A document is a written representation of thought that can be fictional or non-fictional. The word originates from the Latin word for "teaching" or "lesson". Historically, a document was used as written evidence of facts, but now it also refers to computer files including text, fonts, images, and formatting. A document is defined by its content rather than its transmission medium, such as paper, and is distinguished from three-dimensional objects that also represent thought.

DOCUMENT

A document is a written, drawn, presented, or memorialized representation of


thought, often the manifestation of non-fictional, as well as fictional, content. The
word originates from the Latin Documentum, which denotes a "teaching" or
"lesson": the verb doceō denotes "to teach". In the past, the word was usually
used to denote written proof useful as evidence of a truth or fact. In the
computer age, "document" usually denotes a primarily textual computer file,
including its structure and format, e.g. fonts, colors, and images. Contemporarily,
"document" is not defined by its transmission medium, e.g., paper, given the
existence of electronic documents. "Documentation" is distinct because it has
more denotations than "document". Documents are also distinguished from
"realia", which are three-dimensional objects that would otherwise satisfy the
definition of "document" because they memorialize or represent thought;
documents are considered more as 2-dimensional representations. While
documents can have large varieties of customization, all documents can be
shared freely and have the right to do so, creativity can be represented by
documents, also. History, events, examples, opinions, etc. all can be expressed in
documents.
