The Savannah River Plant (SRP), which is operated by DuPont for the Department of Energy (DOE), is faced with the problem of providing ready access to information. A sitewide information network has been installed implementing electronic mail (ALL-IN-1) and various other office automation features. However, users need access to information contained in manuals, earlier research reports, and technical publications located in the central files. Planning is underway to procure a document and information storage and retrieval system linked to the sitewide information network. The system should provide retrieval of image scans of any document via full text and keyword searching of current and archived documents. Old documents will be input to the system through a high-speed image scanning system and optical disk storage. Optical character recognition (OCR) will be performed on these images and the resulting text stored in a document search and retrieval system. A user will utilize the search system to identify the documents needed, and retrieve either the text only from the search system or the image scan from the optical storage system.
