Cataloging Software Packages for Automatic Document Processing

Abstract

Considerable advances have been made in the last few years in the development of hardware structures useful for the implementation of real-time document processing systems and on-line information retrieval. At the same time, relatively little is known about the software packages most appropriate for the new technology. Following certain proposals for the creation of national and international registries of software packages, a sample catalog of software routines is developed for use in modern automatic documentation systems.
