Digital Document Management System Using Optical Disk Mass Storage

Abstract

Three technological breakthroughs make the concept of an all digital document management system realizable. They are the optical disk mass storage, error-free digital transmission and revisory* capability with respect to scanned documents. Optical storage and error-free transmission makes the system technically feasible. Revisory makes the whole notion of the all-electronic system viable in that it allows, for the first time, existing documents to be modified electronically resulting in huge cost savings to industry and government.
