Abstract

Atomic virtual document generation and tagging is described. A virtual article that is intelligible to a digital processing system is generated from a physical materiality. The physical materiality is marked with an identifier. The virtual article is tagged with a tag that corresponds to the identifier. The generating of the virtual article, the marking of the physical materiality, and the tagging of the virtual article occur at substantially the same time.
