CH Data ManagementHot topics

• Management of the heterogeneity of the
  information and documents systems.
• Creating a structure making the interaction
  possible on machines characterized by different
  hardware and software. Managing the recovery of
  documents catalogued and memorized on different
  supports and making their visualization
  homogeneous to the user.
• Management of distributed databases
• Access given databases requires a structure to
  keep a dynamic vision of the system. The problem
  to keep a continuos updating of the transfer of
  the material.
• Access to the archives and to the documents
  catalogued in several ways (author, thematic,
  subject)
• Attempt to manage the recovery of an interest
  document in a lower amount of material, refining
  the research. The principal problem is to
  establish what can be the subjects and the
  hierarchy between of them.

Suggested Standards

• Protocol Z39.50 (CIMI Profile)
• In order to make all databases accessible from a
  single interface.
• Maps the host databases searching and retrieval
  capability on to the Z39.50 Profile. The
  reference system hold indexes to be able to
  respond to the users queries, without reference
  to the local DB.
• Metadata system (Dublin Core)
• Querying or retrieving various type of digital
  documents is executede directly at metadata
  level.
• Metadata represent the vehicle by which digital
  documents can be efficently indexed and retrieved
