Abstract :
During a system development process, a large number of documents are written. The documents are not mutually exclusive. In fact, there is a high degree of common text in valid documents that coexist. Managing and maintaining changes in a collection of documents with a highly redundant text is extremely difficult. DOC represents new concepts for system document management. It uses software engineering techniques and results in document development resembling software development. The use of DOC significantly improved the working style and methodology of engineers. A considerable increase in their productivity was noticed. The documents that are produced using DOC are of much higher quality. DOC opened up new avenues of management procedures that were not possible before
