Towards a Documentary Memory: Building a Document Repository for Companies

An organisation must enable knowledge and information sharing among its employees to optimise their tasks. However, the volume of information contained in documents represents a major importance for these companies. Indeed, companies may be fully reactive to any new information and must follow the fast evolution of spread information. Thus, a documentary memory, which stores this information and allows end-user to access or analyse it, constitutes a necessity for every company. In this paper, we propose the architecture of such a system, based on a document warehouse, allowing the storage of relevant documents and their exploitation via the techniques of information retrieval, factual data interrogation and information multidimensional analysis.
