Internet-Web and St Data Management: Harmonization and New Horizons

  • Chapter
The Information Revolution: Impact on Science and Technology

Abstract

Internet and the World Wide Web, a multimedia space, have become a popular success surprising for this kind of documentation. This success is due to the choice of simple indexing tools and to an organization based on hypermedia links and methods of visual navigation. We present here on the one hand a critical analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of these multimedia methods, while on the other hand we look for their possible synergy with less delocalted Specialted Information Systems (SIS) available for handling scientific and technical data

Resume

Internet et le système d’information hypermédia Web ont suscité un enthousiasme populaire étonnant pour une certaine forme de documentation. Leur succès repose sur le choix d’outils d’indexation simples d’une organisation centrée sur des liens hypertextes et de moyens de navigation visuelle. On analyse ici de façon critique d’une part les aspects positifs et les inconvénients de ces moyens multimédia et d’autre part on recherche leur synergie possible avec les Systèmes d’Information Spécialisée moins délocalisés (SIS) utilisés pour le traitement des données scientifiques et techniques.
