Future Trends in Retrospective Document Conversion

This paper describes a framework for retrospective document conversion in the library domain. Drawing on the experience and insight gained from several projects launched over the present decade by the European Commission, it outlines the requirements for solving the problem of retroconversion and traces the main phases of associated processing.
