Abstract
The invention enables the creation of digital originals of signed documents. Digital originals documents are managed within document sets, which may be used to store all of the documents that are required to fulfill one business purpose (such as a mortgage closing). Document sets may be encrypted, may provide meta information so that they may be indexed, managed and archived, may be versioned, and may have states. Document sets may have meta information specifying the states that they can achieve, and the rules, which specify the required characteristics (including required documents or types of documents, required signatures, required signatories or signer roles, etc.) of document sets to enter each states.
