The author looks at prior efforts and provides background information, then jumps into discussion of present cooperative activities. The author points out general problem areas and specific problems created by the changing nature of documentary materials and the rise of mechanization. The prevailing sentiment is concern about the information explosion and the need to establish more efficient and effective methods of information handling, particularly in the realm of science and technology. A major emphasis is the need for cooperation across organizational boundaries and information systems, and the challenges faced by the goal of compatibility between these systems so that documents and data can be shared and used. The author discusses language compatibility as well as the compatibility of mechanical systems â" the machines and equipment used to organize and disseminate information. The text also reviews compatibility issues related to indexing and storage, constantly balancing the need for cooperation and compatibility with the practical difficulties and expenses that arise. The author concludes that by addressing compatibility, particularly relating to mechanization and language, organizations can more fully exploit the benefits of cooperation in managing recorded knowledge.
