Abstract

We live in a document-based society. Currently, a person has to learn and use dozens of different protocols and interfaces to access his documents. The issuer of the document may change it without the consent or even the knowledge of the person. If the issuer no longer exists, it may be difficult to access documents or to prove its authenticity. Services may be denied to a person due to a forgotten or damaged document. A person may miss opportunities and rights due to document-related issues. uDOC is a proposal of a supra-national document management service that addresses these and other document-related problems and helps include persons in the digital society.
