Our proposal has three major goals: 1) eliminate impediments to economical conversion of existing Navy TI, 2) provide effective delivery of existing Navy TI to electronic displays including small field display devices, and 3) structure files to DOD standards to assure electronic interchangeability of existing Navy TI. The first goal will be met by defining and modeling a scanner post-processor to correct scanner output files prior to the autotagging process. The post-processor will adjust misaligned tables, conform blanks to a standard, isolated literature reference and perform needed rle cleanup. The second goal will be met by implementing conversion routines supporting implementation of an innovative system concept for high speed electronic information retrieval and screen display. The third goal will be met by using DOD cals standards as a foundation for new software. We will test usability of those standards for electronic information retrieval and display.
