131401 - Scanned ref OF 3 line 12, which is a more extensive article on
131402 - Document Management, following up review on Document Image Processing
131403 - (DIP), which was part of the article in ref OF 1 line 18.
131404 -
131405 -     This article is specifically about "document management" but
131406 -     presents it as a tool for "information management" per ref OF 3
131407 -     line 20; and more broadly to manage documents as a "strategic
131408 -     resource".
131409 -
131410 - My general sense is that ref OF 1 line 18 has better explanation of
131411 - DMS theory and objectives, while ref OF 3 line 17 presents software
131412 - products that implement the theory and accomplish some of the
131413 - objectives.
131414 -
131415 - We need to read the article, ref OF 3 line 28, carefully for applica-
131416 - tion to subject indexing.  My general impression is that the programs
131417 - reported in the article, all use "keyword" technology for document
131418 - retrieval, ref OF 3 line 136.
131419 -
131420 - Subject Indexing is specifically discussed at ref OF 1 line 164.
131421 -
131422 - The article is further helpful, because PMI is considering cataloging
131423 - its publications to create a library for members to do research, per
131424 - record at ref SDS 2 line 98.

131427 - Reviews following products:

131436 -
131437 -
131438 - I did not include the detailed reviews for PC Docs and SoftSolutions,
131439 - since they do basically the same as the other two.  The objective of
131440 - the review is to show capability and trends in market place.  The
131441 - phone numbers for all organizations are in the review, so if necessary
131442 - we can get detailed specs.
