A Broad and Complementary Document Model and its Application within Software and Information Systems Engineering

In the last decade or so, I have been fortunate to observe the discussion about what is a document and what is documentation as a field of study. In my talk I will try to focus on the question: what role can a document(tation)-view of systems play in the design of systems and software? I will take Niels Windfeld Lund's document model as the point of departure and try to reflect on what relation it has to traditional design paradigms and fields of study within the broad field of computer science.
