READING AND LEARNING - A DENGEL M JUNKER A WEIS...

The amounts of information that are ?ooding people both at the workplace and in private life
have increased dramatically in the past ten years. The number of paper documents doubles every
four years  and the amount of information stored on all data carriers every six years. New
knowledge  however  increases at a considerably lower rate. Possibilities for automatic content
recognition in various media and for the processing of documents are therefore becoming more
important every day. Especially in economic terms  the e?cient handling of information  i.e. 
?- ing the right information at the right time  is an invaluable resource for any enterprise 
but it is particularly important for small- and medium-sized ent- prises. The market for
document management systems  which in Europe had a volume of approximately 5 billion euros in
2000  will increase considerably over the next few years. The BMBF recognized this development
at an early stage. As early as in 1995  it pooled national capabilities in this ?eld in order
to support research on the automatic processing of information within the framework of a large
collaborative project (READ) involving both industrial companies and research centres.
Evaluation of the results led to the conclusion that research work had been successful  and  in
a second phase  funding was provided for the colla- rative follow-up project Adaptive READ from
1999 to 2003. The completion of

possibilities of content recognition and processing of handwritten  printed and electronic
documents.
