Abstract :
The design, development and demonstration of a prototype system for managing multimedia information is described. This system, referred to as the multimedia document manager (MDM), is based on the IBM PC and uses an open architecture that can utilize information-processing hardware and software from multiple vendors. A prototype of the multimedia document manager has been implemented using the Datacopy 700 as an input device for hardcopy and various word processors. With use of existing TeamExpress software, a user-system interface and control software for the prototype was successfully implemented.<>
