Automation of the Duplicate Checking Function at DTIC (Defense Technical Information Center). Part 2. Analysis of the DTIC Selection Functions and Their Effect on Duplicate Checking Automation

Abstract

The Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) automated its duplicate checking function in 1981, moving this function from the Technical Report card catalog to online checking of the Technical Report Database. The database, however, did not hold the vast amount of housekeeping information that was in the card catalog. This information was comprised of selection, acquisition, regrading, and other reference data, much of which could not be a part of Technical Report Database data. In order to eliminate the need for duplicate checking to take place in both the database and the card catalog, the housekeeping information was analysed relative to DoD information requirements and DTIC's implementation of those requirements. The analysis resulted in a database design to automate this information, provide the management information needed, and eliminate reliance on the card catalog.
