European pioneers of documentation have inspired us to adopt a functional approach to documents. This has led to works on documentality, which is related to the agency and use of documents, and now on documentarity. We define documentarity as a “quantifiable quality”: not what is a document, but how something can seem documentary. This requires input from writing theories and the study of markup (architext, scripturation) and a comparison between interfaces and the underlying processes (documentarisation, editorialisation).

In this article on information design, we will begin by recalling our definition of information anchored in an anthropological vision of communication, and we will then present Buckland’s ternary approach to information, which is in tune with our typology. Secondly, we will return to the notion of device (dispositif) to introduce information and communication devices, of which we will give a few examples. This will allow us, in the third section, to present the design of recorded information in all its richness and complexity, combining the issues of textualization, authorialization, and documentarization.

Three contributions are made to understanding the nature of documents. A survey of definitions of "document" from the last century shows that those definitions which most accurately reflect the ways in which the term "document" is used in practice are typically compound definitions, consisting of two or three elements that each refer to a different function of documents: medium, message, and meaning. Locating documents in E. J. Lowe's four-category ontology results in consideration of documents as universals rather than as particulars. Analysis of B. Smith's theory of document acts suggest that all documents, not just the ones that are involved in declarations, are creative in the special sense that they are generative of quasi-abstract entities of the kind that collectively comprise social reality.
对于理解文档的本质有三个贡献。对上个世纪以来“文件”定义的调查表明，那些最准确地反映“文件”一词在实践中的使用方式的定义通常是复合定义，由两三个元素组成，每个元素都涉及文件的不同功能:媒介、信息和意义。在E. J. Lowe的四范畴本体中定位文档导致将文档视为普遍的而不是具体的。对B. Smith的文件行为理论的分析表明，所有的文件，不仅仅是那些涉及到声明的文件，在特殊意义上都是创造性的，因为它们是共同构成社会现实的那种准抽象实体的生成。

The paper is concerned with the justification for human indexing, in the modern era. We understand human indexing in a classic sense, of human description of information objects in accord with a controlled vocabulary. A justification for human indexing would be, when it yields a value commensurate with its cost. A long historically established value for retrieval systems is selection power, or an enhanced capacity for informed choice for the searcher. The question of the justification for human indexing is made analytically tractable by reversing the historical order of development. We ask, what forms of selection power are not readily obtainable from human use of computationally generated selection processes in searching? Selection processes widely available for searching written documents, for words, phrases, and combinations of words and phrases, are reviewed in ascending order of creativity. Human indexing is strongly justified, when the exchange value involved in producing its use value (likely to be realized as generic power) are commensurate with the exchange value it can command. The argument is conducted with written documents as examples but the possibility of extension of its conclusion to non-written documents is indicated.
