The guest editor for this special issue is Professor Elisabeth Logan of Florida State University. The need for organizations and industries to increase the efficiency of using document information has lead to the development and adoption of international standards for document architectures. The use of networked computers to author, exchange, manipulate, store, retrieve, present, use, and re-use information has simultaneously created a need for and the possibility of adopting standards for interchanging digital information. Structured document information systems require the attention of producers and users of information today because growing document repositories are recognized as valuable information assets.
Papers exploring the future of structured information systems are welcome.
Although research articles and empirical studies will be favored, state of the art reviews or position papers on SGML and other international standards, as well as DTD's from government or industry will be considered. The deadline for accepting manuscripts for consideration for publication is December 31st, 1995. Original artwork and a signed copy of the copyright release form will be required for all accepted papers.
