A document is an element of the library, placed on the shelves. Most of these documents are printed documents like books, leaflets etc. To a lesser extent, there are also miscellaneous documents such as tapes and CDs.

A document is defined by two levels, a generic level and a copy level.

Generic

The generic level describes the expression of a work. It is the bibliographic reference of the document.

An example of a generic reference is "Des récits ordinaires" by Grégory Castéra, Yaël Kreplak and Franck Leibovici published by Les presses du Réel and Villa Arson in 2014.

There are two types of generic bibliographic reference: periodic and non-periodic.

Copy

The copy level describes a copy of a generic entity.

For some generic references, there are several copies.

An example of a copy is the copy of "Des récits ordinaires" by Grégory Castéra, Yaël Kreplak and Franck Leibovici published by Les presses du Réel and Villa Arson in 2014 which is in Agency's library in shelf "0.1.".

The copy level documents the presence of items slipped in the pages (visit cards, postcards, tickets, ...), the written notes by Kobe and the shelf on which the copy is placed.
