The paper gives a detailed descriptions of the features and characteristics for each kind of optical disks.The applications of these optical disks in China,especially the problems and troubles existing in them are summarized as well. Some proposals and solutions are put forward on the basis of analysis of the problem and troubles.
This paper briefly compared the characteristics among the optical disk technology,microform technology and international online information retrieval. Based mainly on the above mentioned technologies, an approach to establish a mixed information storage and retrieval system was introduced in order to take full advantage of them more effectively. It also discussed the strategy for information storage and retrieval of the system as well as the possibility of establishing such
system in China.
This paper presents the design thinking,functions and structure of a user friendly system__ISIS_ES.This system is developed in ISIS PASCAL on basis of the ISIS system and significantly overcomes the shortcomings of the currrent retrieval systems,and improve the rationality,scientificalness and availability of the user interface,thus,the goal of lowering noise,and improving the retrieval quality is attained.
FITS(Flexible ImageTransport System)was recommended as the standard format for interchange of image data among all observatories by Commission 5 at the 1982 General Assembly of IAU in Patras. It supports the transformation for the data types with one,two,three or multi_dimensions.It is not only suitable to astronomical data but also usable to the data in other subjects. The FITS basic form at,the random groups extension and the ASCII table extension for the images and catalogs of astronomical data are described in this paper.
