SOClass™ GCF™ technology
The GCF™, or "Government
Class Framework", offers document historical tracking,
versioning, ownership, e-signature, security and DPP
(Document Processing Path). The GCF is the backbone
of the management of SOClass e-documents. It allows
users to access all versions of a particular document
and to retrace the evolution of an e-document.
For GCF e-documents, two databases are
created: one to store all e-documents in their latest
version, and one to store the previous versions of each
e-document. The version-database stores serialized objects
containing all necessary information about a version
of an e-document. A GCF e-document is identified by
a primary key composed of an Instance Identification
to identify uniquely a document's instance independently
of its data elements.
