Integrated Bibliographic Information System: Integrating Resources by Integrating Information Technologies.

Abstract

The Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) is sponsoring the development of an integrated bibliographic information system. The prototype of this system, under development since April 1983, will be used to demonstrate the concept of an integrated library system combined with an intelligent gateway capable of querying and updating -- simultaneously -- more than one heterogeneous bibliographic data base (catalog). Queries and updates of any data base will be performed using a common command language, relieving the system user of the need to learn and master separate languages and procedures for each data base accessed. The development approach used, the information processing concepts and technologies investigated and selected for implementation in the prototype system, and the issues underpinning system implementation are described.
