- The requirements for retrieval systems capable of handling
not only textual but also non-textual information - including
graphics, numeric data, and chemical structures - are highlighted
in this volume of papers. The Institute of Information Scientists
Text Retrieval Conferences were highly successful events, and
attracted wide critical praise. The present volume covers various
retrieval systems and their suitability for organising text and
non-text; hardware, software and communications developments,
and case studies in the handling of graphics, images, financial
data, and chemical structures. Describing developments in the
storage and retrieval of information, this book will be valuable
reading for those who wish to review progress in the design,
creation and use of computerised information systems.
