First, the document should be self-contained in terms of
the content information (e.g., the text), the structural information (i.e., for those documents that
are structured), the formatting information (e.g., fonts, colours, styles, etc.), and the metadata
information. Self-containment does not necessarily mean that an archivist will only have one
document to deal with. It does mean, however, that they will have documents that will provide
them with all the information to access and process the content, structure, formatting, and
metadata. Openness is expressed as open availability by some researchers.30 Other researchers
adopt the term disclosure for expressing that specification is publicly available.31
