| Abstract | Document management system (DMS) has been applied in many organizations to improve their storage performance. DMS implementations have been focused on document storage and retrieval purposes. This work has tried to propose a new framework of document management system based on the workflow concept with integrated intelligent component to aid routing decision. The primary benefits of the integration of workflow concept with the DMS system is that the system could manage documents that are still active using workflow, rather than managing the documents in their archival states. The workflow concept improves the performance to manage documents in the system in all their life cycle. The main component that provides the intelligent decision, which enhances the flexibility of the framework, is XDD. The XDD language is implemented using the XET program. It provides the ability to query, transform data in the form of XML document. The proposed workflow-enabled DMS system was applied to many document formats of the Thai Government as a study case using the WfXML workflow messaging standard. It was found that the proposed framework is feasible and would enable intelligent message routing to the existing document management systems. |
