[Jean-Michel Salaün]

Dear colleagues and friends

If you think it is interesting to discuss the characteristics of what you 
mostly are searching for on the Internet, a useful DOCUMENT, then join the 
online work on Document Theory, now in a bilingual form , go to
http://rtp-doc.enssib.fr/article.php3?id_article=190&recalcul=oui
follow the guide how to contribute to the discussion.


It is a initiative taken by the International document research community 
primarily based on the French RTP-doc community,
http://rtp-doc.enssib.fr/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=33,
but also more and more document scholars around the world, related to the 
Document Academy, an international  network based on collaboration between 
Documentation Studies, University of Troms, Norway and SIMS, University of 
California.

French Document Scholars have for 2-3 years now worked on document theory 
through a collaborative writing process, better known as Monsieur Roger T. 
Pedauque. The first paper, existing in a French version as well as in a 
English version, mention three main perspectives, form, sign and medium. 
The first text focus on form,

while the second (only in French) focus on sign, on meaning,
http://rtp-doc.enssib.fr/article.php3?id_article=209
The third one focus on document as medium or document and the medium 
dimension. The starting text has just been launched in a French and a 
English version 
http://rtp-doc.enssib.fr/article.php3?id_article=190&recalcul=oui and they 
are supposed to be discussed and revised during the coming months. At the 
Summerschool in Tromso in late June/Early July , There are still more seats 
available at the summerschool
http://thedocumentacademy.hum.uit.no/sommerskole/indexecole.html, a 
preliminary status text will be presented and discussed.  A more final 
version of the works by M. Roger will be presented at the DOCAM conference 
at Berkeley in October 7-9 2005.

If you think the document is an important dimension on the Internet, then 
join the discussion and be a part of the  emergent document theory building 
process

best
