- 17. iCon Key Functionalities 1. Automate collection process as much as possible Digital Camera, OCR, indexing engine, and semantic web technologies replacing manual cataloging and metadata creation process
- 18. iCon Key Functionalities 1. Automate collection process as much as possible Digital Camera, OCR, indexing engine, and semantic web technologies replacing manual cataloging and metadata creation process 2. Social Framework Collaborate between libraries and among users to fine tune metadata and create new content to aid better discovery experience
- 20. OCR process on Direct server Upload Text/Images from stored in camera database Digital Imaging iCon Searchable full text of pages Using digital camera With images And abstracted text
