A document (noun) is a bounded physical representation of body of information designed with the capacity (and usually intent) to communicate. A document may manifest symbolic, diagrammatic or sensory-representational information. To document (verb) is to produce a document artifact by collecting and representing information. In prototypical usage, a document is understood as a paper artifact, containing information in the form of ink marks. Increasingly documents are also understood as digital artifacts.

Colloquial usage is revealed by the connotations and denotations that appear in a Web search for document. From these usages, one can infer the following typical connotations:

  • Writing that provides information person's thinking by means of symbolic marks.
  • A written account of ownership or obligation.
  • To record in detail; "The parents documented every step of their child's development".
  • A digital file in a particular format.
  • To support or supply with references; "Can you document your claims?".
  • An artifact that meets a legal notion of document for purposes of discovery in litigation.

The variety usage reveals that the notion of document has rich social and cultural aspects besides the physical, functional and operational aspects.

How Long Should I Keep My Documents Before Discarding Them?
Q. I have documents (past bills, old auto insurance documents, old apartment rental contracts, past income tax documents, etc.). I've kept such documents for the last 5 years or so for my records. However, I think that it'd be okay to shred and discard them now. But, I'm worried that someday I may need to reference one these documents for whatever reason. So, my question is - how long should I keep my documents before discarding them? 2 years? 5 years?
Asked by LesYeux8 - Tue Jul 22 01:54:59 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I keep them for a year (max 2 years) till I file my taxes & returns. Then I scan them into my computer for future reference before discarding them.
