As it relates to documents as expressions of meaning, meaning can either be constructed when creating the document or derived when one interacts with it.
Meaning can be defined as a subjective interpretation of an objective instantiation, namely a document.
Document is further defined as an instantiation that has been captured in some form or medium, which could be void of explicit a-priori meaning, underlining the reality of possible a-posteriori assignment of meaning to the creation of a document. This is exemplified in the multitude of cases when original documents have served purposes different to those for which they had been originally created.
