From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

Available documents. This is a mapping of strings onto document nodes. The string represents the absolute URI of a resource. The document node is the root of a tree that represents that resource using the data model. The document node is returned by the fn:doc function when applied to that URI.

document

From XHTML 1.0: The Extensible HyperText Markup Language (Second Edition) (2000-01-26) | Glossary for this source

A document is a stream of data that, after being combined with any other streams it references, is structured such that it holds information contained within elements that are organized as defined in the associated DTD. See Document Conformance for more information.
document

From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15) | Glossary for this source

For the purpose of this specification, "document" refers to content supplied in response to a request. Using this definition, a "document" may be a collection of smaller "documents", which in turn is a part of a greater "document".
document

From XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model (XDM) (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

A tree whose root node is a Document Node is referred to as a document.
document

From Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (2000-02-03) | Glossary for this source

A "document" is a series of elements that are defined by a markup language (e.g., HTML 4 or an XML application).
document

From Web Services Glossary (2004-02-11) | Glossary for this source

Any data that can be represented in a digital form. [UeB Glossary]

document

From Hypertext Terms (1995-04-15) | Glossary for this source

A term for a node on some systems (eg Intermedia). Sometimes used by others as a term for a collection of nodes on related topics, possible stored or distributed as one. The prefered term in W3 documentation.
document character set

From User Agent Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (2002-12-17) | Glossary for this source

In this document, a document character set (a concept from SGML) is a collection of abstract characters that a format specification allows to appear in an instance of the format. A document character set consists of: A "repertoire": A set of abstract characters, such as the Latin letter "A," the Cyrillic letter "I," and the Chinese character meaning "water."Code positions: A set of integer references to characters in the repertoire. For instance, the character set required by the HTML 4 specification [HTML4] is defined in the Unicode specification [UNICODE]. Refer to "Character Model for the World Wide Web" [CHARMOD] for more information about document character sets.
document content, structure, and presentation

From Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (1999-05-05) | Glossary for this source

The content of a document refers to what it says to the user through natural language, images, sounds, movies, animations, etc. The structure of a document is how it is organized logically (e.g., by chapter, with an introduction and table of contents, etc.). An element (e.g., P, STRONG, BLOCKQUOTE in HTML) that specifies document structure is called a structural element. The presentation of a document is how the document is rendered (e.g., as print, as a two-dimensional graphical presentation, as an text-only presentation, as synthesized speech, as braille, etc.) An element that specifies document presentation (e.g., B, FONT, CENTER) is called a presentation element.Consider a document header, for example. The content of the header is what the header says (e.g., "Sailboats"). In HTML, the header is a structural element marked up with, for example, an H2 element. Finally, the presentation of the header might be a bold block text in the margin, a centered line of text, a title spoken with a certain voice style (like an aural font), etc.
document entity

From Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.1 (2004-02-04) | Glossary for this source

The document entity serves as the root of the entity tree and a starting-point for an XML processor.
document entity

From Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (2000-10-06) | Glossary for this source

The document entity serves as the root of the entity tree and a starting-point for an XML processor.
document language

From Glossary of Cascading Style Sheets, level 2 CSS2 Specification (1998-05-12) | Glossary for this source

The encoding language of the source document (e.g., HTML or an XML application).
document model

From Modularization of XHTML (2001-04-10) | Glossary for this source

the effective structure and constraints of a given document type. The document model constitutes the abstract representation of the physical or semantic structures of a class of documents.
document object model

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21) | Glossary for this source

A model in which the document or Web page is treated as an object repository. This model is developed by the DOM Working Group (DOM) of the W3C.
document object, document

From User Agent Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (2002-12-17) | Glossary for this source

In general usage, the term "document object" refers to the user agent's representation of data (e.g., a document). This data generally comes from the document source, but may also be generated (e.g., from style sheets, scripts, or transformations), produced as a result of preferences set within the user agent, or added as the result of a repair performed automatically by the user agent. Some data that is part of the document object is routinely rendered (e.g., in HTML, what appears between the start and end tags of elements and the values of attributes such as alt, title, and summary). Other parts of the document object are generally processed by the user agent without user awareness, such as DTD- or schema-defined names of element types and attributes, and other attribute values such as href and id. Most of the requirements of this document apply to the document object after its construction. However, a few checkpoints (e.g., checkpoints 2.7 and 2.10) may affect the construction of the document object.A "document object model" is the abstraction that governs the construction of the user agent's document object. The document object model employed by different user agents may vary in implementation and sometimes in scope. This specification requires that user agents implement the APIs defined in Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 specifications ([DOM2CORE] and [DOM2STYLE]) for access to HTML, XML, and CSS content. These DOM APIs allow authors to access and modify the content via a scripting language (e.g., JavaScript) in a consistent manner across different scripting languages.
document order

From XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model (XDM) (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

A document order is defined among all the nodes accessible during a given query or transformation. Document order is a total ordering, although the relative order of some nodes is implementation-dependent. Informally, document order is the order in which nodes appear in the XML serialization of a document.
document order

From XML Path Language (XPath) (1999-11-16) | Glossary for this source

There is an ordering, document order, defined on all the nodes in the document corresponding to the order in which the first character of the XML representation of each node occurs in the XML representation of the document after expansion of general entities. Thus, the root node will be the first node. Element nodes occur before their children. Thus, document order orders element nodes in order of the occurrence of their start-tag in the XML (after expansion of entities). The attribute nodes and namespace nodes of an element occur before the children of the element. The namespace nodes are defined to occur before the attribute nodes. The relative order of namespace nodes is implementation-dependent. The relative order of attribute nodes is implementation-dependent.
