Abstract
Cataloguing and searching procedures in traditional library systems are expensive, time-consuming and often incomplete. OMNIS is a novel multimedia information retrieval system for the administration of documents in libraries and offices. Using the fulltext database system Myriad combined with scanning and OCR technologies it offers the disclosing, archiving and searching functions at drastically reduced costs with much more precision. Documents may contain page images, full-length PostScript or other medial information and offer the user a much better insight into documents. At Technische Universität München a considerable number of computer science documents have been made searchable by a simple fulltext query language. To make this document retrieval system available to WWW clients the OMNIS document access function was implemented as OMNIS-WWW server which is already in operation. This paper contains the substantial features of OMNIS (especially its searching function) and discusses the concepts and the implementation of its WWW server. The development of OMNIS is promoted by DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) and DFN-Verein (Deutsches Forschungsnetz) [6].
