ABSTRACT:
A system and method for producing a variety of documents from a common document database. A document is partitioned into a number of encapsulated data elements. One or more classes of variations are defined and variation names are associated with each class. Data elements within the document are tagged with one or more variation names and placed within a document database; the resulting document database can be filtered and formatted to form variation-specific documents.
