RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Trenz, Oldřich T1 The impact of document format on productivity of information systems JF Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis YR 2014 VO 55 IS 6 SP 177 OP 186 DO 10.11118/actaun200755060177 UL https://acta.mendelu.cz/artkey/acu-200706-0019.php AB Document processing is significant and limiting factor of the efficiency of every information system that creates, stores, and revises documents during its operation. Selection of proper document format together with the data that describe the document can substantially influence the speed of processing the documents.We should consider the document format already in the phase of systems design. If documents that are processed are of one type it is useful to follow one descriptive style during their creation. This can be achieved through using sample document templates.Not less important is also the method of storing the documents. This aspect is crucial mainly in cases when the presentation and processing of the documents is fundamental. The design of the structure and methods of storing the documents are influenced by the operations that will be carried out with the documents. Big impact on the structure has e.g. implementation of efficient searching algorithm in full text or semantic variant.This paper doesn't provide complex solution of document systems in information systems but uses suitable approaches and comparisons to show effective way how to implement such system with the compliance with new technologies.
