Resumen
The article studies the relation between document management and Web technologies. Authors say that Web information system (WIS) designers must resolve issues of authoring, organizing, managing, and delivering large amounts of unstructured and timely information via the Web. They currently must integrate a myriad of third-party products with the Web. This article describes how authors used a systematic design methodology and document management facilities to offset Web deficiencies in constructing a large-scale authoring and publishing system. Through its Trusted Global Advisor initiative, Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. is replacing its text-based, mainframe information systems with client/server and Web-based systems integrated under a single graphical user interface shell. To build successful WIS, developers were urged to observe systematic design methodologies, integration, and evaluation techniques. Developers evaluated other Web-enabled document management products, including one from Documentum, which provide gateways to a dynamic publishing model.
