Embodiments of methods, apparatuses, systems and/or devices for document
control are described. For example, a document control policy may
comprise a set of document control rules that may be applied to an
electronic document. In one embodiment the policy may be at least
partially represented by a language such as Portable Document Rights
Language (PDRL), for example. PDRL, in at least one embodiment comprises
a language that may be utilized for expressing the rights and conditions
of a document control policy. A policy may be associated with one or more
electronic documents, and may include a set of document control rules
that may define rights associated with an electronic document, such as
the right to access the electronic document by opening, editing, saving
and/or printing the document, for example.
