Introduction – General documentation theory Traditionally, documentation involves three different actions:
—	Research: locate relevant data
—	Registration/description: put down relevant data
—	Dissemination: make data available
Leading questions for documentation actions are: What are the identifying properties to be captured? How can this documentation be structured into information? What kind of documentation form is the most suitable for which goal? Within information science three types of graphic visual representation in documentation can be distinguished: 2
—	Verbal: i.e. text in all thinkable variations
—	Pictorial: i.e. visual: photographs video & 3D documentation
—	Schematic: such as floor plans, CAD (computer aided design), diagrams etc.
Please note that sound is not graphic, and therefore not mentioned in this listing, although in the scope of this research it is an appropriate form of documentation. Graphic visual representation types follow a three-level framework: Level one: components Level two: relations Level three: overall presentation, i.e. models for different use Several approaches are being used to deal with these different types and levels. In theory, the best approach would be to find a method describing the work, its history and its (re)presentation(s), and use a framework to trace, collect, describe and classify documents and information. One could search for those frameworks that are in use in different disciplines like linguistics, psychology and informatics visual (re) presentation. Metadata schemas are common practice in art documentation, but no schema would be totally adequate for describing an installation work including all its components, varieties and disciplines. note 2: Karel van der Waarde (1996), ‘The Visual Presentation of Information’, Reader Alfa Informatica, University of Amsterdam.
