Abstract:
Byte magazine article explores the sorts of
document-management problems faced by businesses and web
sites, and compares a number of software packages for
solving these.
Abstract:
Like database, E-mail, and telephony vendors, suppliers of
document management systems are now turning to published
interfaces as a way of opening up their clients and
services. This reduces the cost of developing for multiple
platforms and broadens the applicability of their
offerings.
Abstract:
Two groups that sought to separately define industry
specifications for version control, security, and other
document services have joined to create the DMA (Document
Management Alliance) and expect to release their first
specifications this month. The goal: to make the information
in documents available to anyone on a network, regardless of
the application or interface.
Abstract:
Paper documents are often described as 'information rich', in contrast with electronic documents. This ethnographic
study examines Lotus NOTES in a sub-section of the Irish civil service, with particular reference to the concurrent use
of electronic and paper documents. The sub-section examines disagreements with regard to claims by Irish citizens for
particular government benefits. The study describes how meta-information contained in paper case files is perceived as
necessary for the work of the organization, thus restricting the use of electronic case files in NOTES as a shared
information system. However, this reliance on paper files derives not only from the information rich properties of paper
documents, but also from the desire of some workers to protect their occupational status by defining, as necessary for
their job, information which is only available in paper documents and which only they can interpret. This dependence
on paper documents also reduces the amount of information that can be shared within the organization. This paper
suggests that, only if the perceived threat posed by the information system were reduced in some way would user
innovations in work practices and greater sharing of information within the organization become possible.
Abstract:
Document management systems are used by individuals, office
workgroups and enterprises to organize and keep track of the
documents being produced as a part of their work. Digital
Library technology is being developed by many organizations
to make the world's knowledge available through computers
and communication technology. The World-Wide Web is an
Internet application being used by individuals, companies
and other organizations for promoting themselves, their
products, doing electronic commerce, and for providing
information to the vast number of Internet users around the
world. These three application areas have much in common and
also significant differences. The paper notes the common
elements and some of the technical issues common in these
areas, and explores the opportunities for synergy when these
applications merge.
Abstract:
A great deal of the collective knowledge of organizations is
stored in documents. To be able to use documents
effectively, the information structure in the documents
should be carefully planned. International standards for
example, SGML, have been developed for defining document
structurss. The definition method is not enough. For
defining effective document management standards for an
organization, a profound document analysis is needed. In the
analysis, current documents and document management
practices should be studied and described before developing
new document structures and document management practices.
Abstract:
This article proposes that an organic workflow-process technology will power the evolution of information system
architectures. The authors outline three likely stages of architectural evolution in the context of a networked economy
and discuss critical gaps in the current technology with respect to their envisioned future.
Abstract:
The business requirements for better document in engineering
environments are forever increasing and the underlying
technologies for implementing system solutions are changing
rapidly. In these contexts, it is vital that the strategic
aspects of the document management decision-making processes
and the user and functional requirements of document
management are fully understood prior to consideration of
shorter term implementation decisions. This paper goes some
way to provide guidelines on addressing these issues through
the development of a structured approach to engineering
document management, coupled with the specification of
generic processes and data models which can form the basis
for developing company-specific strategies, plans, models
and requirements before committing to investments in
technology implement solutions.
Abstract:
Work flow management systems (WFMSs) are an important new technology, which are likely to have a significant
impact on the way in which clerical and administrative operations are organized and executed. This paper seeks to
investigate how WFMSs are being exploited and used commercially by UK-based organizations operating in the
financial services sector. In-depth interviews were conducted with 14 project managers to explore the development,
application and commercial implications of this powerful yet flexible technology. The results indicate that work flow
technology has the potential to facilitate significant changes in the way in which an organization conducts its business,
through the automation of a wide range of document-intensive operations. Furthermore, when applied in a
well-focused manner, it has the potential to realize significant increases in an organization's flexibility and productivity,
as well as delivering major improvements to the quality, speed and consistency of customer service.
Abstract:
This article presents a tool which includes a framework for
introducing a work-flow-management-system. Bottom line
follows to document oriented anaylsis and modeling business
practices. That is to concentrate on the object document
while modeling processes.
*note: this one was difficult to understand because of the
fact that it was originally written using the German
language.
