CIVIL DEFENSE INFORMATION SYSTEMS ANALYSIS (A FEASIBILITY STUDY OF RESEARCH INFORMATION EXCHANGE)

Abstract

A feasibility study was performed of a civil defense scientific and technical information system that will insure the ready availability of information to all pertinent OCD elements and to contract research personnel. A brief analysis of scientific information systems is presented as background for a discussion of the present civil defense information system. The potential sources of civil defense information are listed. The civil defense information system is defined to be the relationships or exchange between the sources of civil defense information and the users of this information. Methods for improving this exchange are presented. These suggestions include the establishment of an information analysis center, the printing of a quarterly technical progress review, and the use of standard report format and indexing procedures. To foster standard indexing procedures, a 'Thesaurus of Civil Defense Descriptors' is provided (AD-611 438).
