Abstract
This paper describes a system called CINDI for cataloguing, searching, and annotating electronic documents in a digital library, the library being distributed over a computer communication network. A document is catalogued both on its syntactic and semantic content. This makes later searching for the document easier and more precise. On accessing a document, a reader can make annotation about it. Such annotations are recorded in the semantic header and are accessible to future searchers. Graphical user interfaces are provided for each of cataloguing, searching, and annotating. The user of CINDI is helped by an expert system that mimics the basic expertise of professional librarians.
