Machine-readable document
open-in-new
<p>A machine-readable document is a <a href="/facts/Document/H4Hdxu91">document</a> whose content can be readily processed by <a href="/facts/Computer/SQe1aK05">computers</a>. Such documents are distinguished from more general <a href="/facts/Machine-readable_data/oKEyQhcl">machine-readable data</a> by virtue of having further structure to provide the necessary context to support the business processes for which they are created. </p>
