Abstract
Document automation is an approach that supports the creation of electronic documents in a flexible and efficient way. These systems allow the definition and management of (document) templates, which are extended versions of common documents with particular elements called fields, merge fields, form objects, etc. This paper introduces and discusses qDocs, a citizen-centric and multi-curator document automation platform for managing dynamic electronic documents (e.g. id cards, forms, certificates) accessible to any citizen in a easy and secure way. qDocs provides a single point of access for citizens to create, use and manage their own documents. These documents are produced from templates curated by public or private organizations (named as curators) that also participate in this qDocs ecosystem. This paper discusses particularly how curators may define, design and configure their templates and then make them available to citizens, allowing access to their respective documents in a secure and flexible way.

Document automation is an approach that supports the creation of electronic documents in a flexible and efficient way. These systems allow the definition and management of (document) templates, which are extended versions of common documents with particular elements called fields, merge fields, form objects, etc. This paper introduces and discusses qDocs, a citizen-centric and multi-curator document automation platform for managing dynamic electronic documents (e.g. id cards, forms, certificates) accessible to any citizen in a easy and secure way. qDocs provides a single point of access for citizens to create, use and manage their own documents. These documents are produced from templates curated by public or private organizations (named as curators) that also participate in this qDocs ecosystem. This paper discusses particularly how curators may define, design and configure their templates and then make them available to citizens, allowing access to their respective documents in a secure and flexible way.
