Abstract
Transforming an electronic document into web application provides a single interactive platform for conducting all business activities, including collaboration. This significantly extends the simple, persistent, portable and contextual nature of a document with interactive, authoritative, process oriented and data connected capabilities of a web application. The application aspect of the document also ensures the metadata of document is always up-to-date and self-managed, with the corresponding data and content provided in the document, for accurate search and retrieval. The invention transforms isolated, static and manual characteristics of document into a rich and live application. Instead of it being the end result of a process, the document itself serves as the platform that allows business processes to be launched, conducted and completed within the document itself, thereby saving users the hassle of opening multiple forms, screens, emails in order to finalize the content. This allows the data and content to be negotiated within the document itself. In other words, the document becomes an interactive, connected, living and breathing entity which can respond to the changing business needs, immediately and automatically.
