The Unesco Computerized Documentation System
M. Pobukovsky · Information Development · 1985
In 1975, Unesco's Computerized Documenta tion System, (CDS) was combined with the Inte grated Set of Information Systems (ISIS) de veloped by the International Labour Organiza tion to create a comprehensive collection of programs for input, management and output in either batch or on-line mode, known as CDS/ ISIS. The same set of programs can be used to manipulate various data bases with different data content. Forty-three data bases are run by CDS/ISIS within the Unesco Secretariat and the package is made available free of charge to non-profit institutions in Member States. The system is being used to support an Integrated Documentation Network within Unesco and micro and minicomputer versions are soon to be released.
