Abstract

In this paper we review filing and retrieval mechanisms for unstructured and mixed media information in an office filing facility. In particular, we concentrate on methods of filing and retrieval using the content of the unstructured or free text parts of office objects, but the state of the art in the handling of voice and image data is also discussed. Two of the ways of implementing content retrieval of free text are to search the text itself or to search some text surrogate. Two of the problems associated with the latter method, choice of an internal representation form and analysis of text into this form, are detailed in the paper. Finally, an outline is given of work to be done as part of Project Minstrel.
