established between the elements. Depending on customer needs and
requirements to the system, a customized selection of the elements can be
provided with optional display, storage and/or delivery of the selected

performed by using distributed processing of the document in a network,
where two or more computers are involved. Corresponding method of
generation a database of the derivative documents is also provided.
