In the simplest form, a document is a written piece of work that follows a structure (e.g. index, main body, conclusions and recommendations) that has been designed to capture information in order to communicate it to others - collecting and representing information using paper or electronic media. A record by contrast is typically the storing of raw data using a data recording device such as a hand written note, email message, minutes of a meeting, phone or voice recorded message, media players etc. Documents can represent information, whilst records generally represent data.
Document - unfinished, not corroborated

Record - user can not change it, in force
