The compound document processing system (CDPS) is a multimedia information system that provides integrated facilities for storage and retrieval of text, pictures and document images. It is based on the probabilistic retrieval model which involves ranking the retrieved records in descending order of their similarity to the user's query. Facilities provided by the system include extracting information from scanned multimedia documents, automatic indexing, sharing information between different devices such as electronic mail, facsimile machine, word processor, text formatter and so on.>
