Government
Access Innovations understands how to enable your personnel and the public to sort through enormous volumes of information to find what they’re looking for. Taxonomies are an important tool to mine the information resources available from your agency. We will help you build them. We have the tools and services to help you apply them to your content resources, to maintain the metadata tagging as well as the taxonomy, and of course to allow access to those you serve within the agency and with potential customers.
With our information management software and services, researching current information as well as long-archived documents becomes simple. We are the experts in taxonomy and thesaurus construction and management, automated and computer-assisted indexing of documents and web pages, and user-friendly search interfaces.

Advisory Committee for the Co-ordination of Information Systems (ACCIS)
The United Nations' Advisory Committee for the Co-ordination of Information Systems called on Access Innovations to create data entry specifications and perform the conversion of approximately 3,000 bibliographic entries to those specifications with at least a 99.95% accuracy rate. We created an inventory of source documents, developed specifications, and provided proofreading to ensure quality and accuracy.
Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS)
The CCOHS needed to digitize its Material Safety Data Sheets. Access Innovations provided keyed conversion, delivered at 99.98% accuracy using the CCOHS record input specifications.
China Lake US Naval Weapons Center
Access Innovations president Marjorie Hlava flew to China Lake to personally consult on library design and direct in the establishment of a technical library. Access Innovatinos then provided additional consulting consulting on project and production workflow.
Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC)
Access Innovations provided DTIC with a Data Harmony M.A.I. server license to DTIC, trained DTIC personnel in M.A.I., and set up data.
EuroOSH - Occupational Safety and Health Database of European Union
Access Innovations did SGML tagging of texts for style. Tasks included keyboarding, imaging; handling of special characters; and formatting of tables and forms.
Eurovoc
Awarded by the European Parliament, this project was for the creation of a test automated/assisted pilot expert system to use Data Harmony's M.A.I. to perform document indexing and searching using the existing multilingual European Parliament thesaurus.
Illinois Government Library Information System (GLIS)
The Illinois GLIS sought to enhance and update its integrated libary system (ILS), a rule based indexing system. Access Innovations provided custom programming and editorial rule building services.
Information Network of Kansas (INET Kansas)
BRS was an online database offering remote access to users and the Information Network of Kansas wanted to offer its resources throughout the State of Kansas using a remote access system. We converted INET Kansas' photocomposition files from the Penta typesetting system to ASCII text to load into the BRS system, proofread and edited test batches, and then made the full system ready for their use. Source data included the full text of legislative bills and of administrative rules and regulations.
Iowa Legislative Services Agency
For the Iowa Legislative Services Agency, Access Innovations created a uniform index for the Iowa Code and the Iowa Administrative Code, as well as developing enhanced electronic index capabilities. Users are now able to build collections across legal documents, according to topic of interest. For example, a user interested in agriculture can find all statutes and rules applying to the topic and build a single document containing all related content. A uniform index allows customized, subscription-based delivery of legal documents from all indexed entries. The user can subscribe to "Agriculture" and be notified of changes or proposed changes to state laws on the topic.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)
For LLNL, Access Innovations researched and wrote a report on NPO Astrofizika, an institute in Russia renowned for its excellent research in laser technology. LLNL had a need to know about the organization's management structure, the manpower levels, and the health of the institute at that time. This study by Access Innovations' staff preserved the anonymity of LLNL.
US Government Accountability Office
"92% accuracy on GAO full text reports"
Peter McGarry, US Government Accountability Office
The GAO needed subject indexing of its documents. Access Innovations used our proprietary Data Harmony software with GAO documents and GAO software, collected new terms, built rules for use of new terms, and assigned new and existing terms to the project documents.
