<p>A document storing and retrieving system in a networking environment comprising a plurality of individual components, wherein the components interact and may be interfaced with external systems through platform independent communication mechanisms, i.e. JAVA, CORBA. The system may store and retrieve meta data (index data) as well as documents into and from the same database so that both documents and meta data pertaining to the respective documents may be contained within the same database. Preferably, the document management system communicates with the database through a standard, platform-independent communication mechanism, such as JDBC. In particular, the invention concerns a system comprising at least one system controlled scanner for scanning paper documents and producing graphic image files representing the paper documents.</p> |
