In the past several decades, and at an increasing pace, many records that used to be stored on paper have been stored digitally on computer information systems, instead. As older technologies are replaced by newer generations of hardware and software, new schemes for storing and coding the data are introduced. Because of the rapid evolution of technology, future digital systems may not be able ...

This document summarises Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T) documents related to Accounting. A classification scheme for the Accounting Attributes in the summarised documents is presented. Exchange formats for Accounting data records are discussed, as are advantages and disadvantages of integrated versus separate record formats and transport...

the pervasive use of computers. More and more cases involve e-mail, word-processed documents, spreadsheets, and records of Internet activity. In some cases, computerbased discovery can be routine and uneventful. The parties may agree simply to exchange computer disks of documents instead of paper. In many cases, however, computerbased discovery generates disputes over the scope of disclosure, f...

Over the past quarter-century, many covariates of divorce have been identified. However, the extent to which the effects of these covariates remain constant across time is not known. In this article, I examine the stability of the effects of a wide range of divorce covariates using a pooled sample of data taken from five rounds of the National Survey of Family Growth. This sample includes consi...

Assessment of seasonal changes in surface water quality is an important aspect for evaluating temporal variations of river pollution due to natural or anthropogenic inputs of point and non-point sources. In this study, surface water quality data for 16 physical and chemical parameters collected from 22 monitoring stations in a river during the years from 1998 to 2001 were analyzed. The principa...

This paper presents descriptive research that investigates email policy. There is evidence to suggest that many organisations have introduced email policies to manage the usage of their email systems but have failed to recognise the implications of email as documents and, thus, their incumbent records management requirements. This research, in an Australian winery, seeks to identify whether the...

With the increasing prevalence of electronic medical records (EMRs), search technologies for these systems hold significant promise for improving patient and population care. We present a split-layer language model that embeds linguistic layers from existing NLP systems in retrieving medical documents. On the cohort identification task of the TREC Medical Records Track, our approach shows impro...

BACKGROUND This paper presents a novel approach to searching electronic medical records that is based on concept matching rather than keyword matching. AIM The concept-based approach is intended to overcome specific challenges we identified in searching medical records. METHOD Queries and documents were transformed from their term-based originals into medical concepts as defined by the SNOM...
