Abstract

The Space Business Archives uses DB/TextWorks, Version 3.0, to catalog and maintain internal control of its astronautic collections. In order to make those collections available to a larger audience, the Archives uses DB/Text WebPublisher in conjunction with Web query forms and query result report created with DB/TextWorks to allow users to search document abstracts on the Web. DB/Text WebPublisher is a piece of software that provides mechanisms to query a textbase created with DB/TextWorks via Web query forms and deliver query results dynamically. DB/Text WebPublisher enables the Space Business Archives not only to make its collections accessible worldwide, but also to provide users with valuable tools for distance research.
