The DoD Gateway Information System: Operational Prototype and Transition Period 1987-1988

Abstract

The Defense Technical Center (DTIC) has developed the DoD Gateway Information System (DGIS) as a means for the DoD Scientific and Technical Information (STI) community to access remote heterogeneous databases in a common simplified manner and analyze the information from these databases. This paper explains the progress on developing and prototyping Phase I of DGIS during the 1987-1988 time period. The various components covered are the Directory of Resources, post-processing software, the GENIUS document ordering system, user support, SearchMAESTRO menu driven system and the Common Command Language effort. In addition, this paper covers the effort to transition DGIS from an operational prototype system to an operational system. A bibliography of DGIS-related paper is included. Keywords: Gateway; Font end; Interfaces; Downloading; Networking; Libraries; End users; Prototype. (JHD)
