I actually believe it is curated to a very high degree because a well defined process produces it, and expresses the curating intention of the organisation that is sending it to you. So it is not directly curated by a human, but indirectly. Nonetheless I would keep curation out of the text for the definitions, and condense it into 'intended'. Joseph Beuys (German artist) once put a pile of grease somewhere and intended it to be a work of art (not sure how much curation went on while he was doing it, at least it didn't turn into cheese). Some cleaning person did not get the message and… Anyway: that pile of grease would have to be considered a document, its portability only limited by climate/temperature ;-). If Beuys had incidentally dropped a same shaped and same sized pile of grease, it would not have been a document. Olaf
