The Problem of Defining the Concept of "Electronic Document for Long-Term Storage"

The definitions of the concepts of an electronic document existing in domestic and international regulatory documents were investigated in this article. Important components of an electronic document for long-term storage were identified in the course of the study, namely: metadata, a normalized copy, related directories and classifiers, indices, components of an electronic signature, etc. An electronic document was defined in relation to the organization of long-term storage and the compositionwas determined in general his information. The mathematical model of the electronic document is presented in general form. The ways of further scientific research are determined: development of amathematical model of the semantic blocks of an electronic document; assessment of the alienability of an electronic document from the software and hardware storage environment; assessment of the interpretability of electronic documents. The author plans to prepare a series of articles to describe the solution to the problems of ensuring the preservation of the document in the course of further research.
