Coded information
Coded information (abbreviation: CI , English coded information ) and its counterpart non-coded information (abbreviation: NCI , English non-coded information ) denote the appearance of electronic documents in document management systems.
Coded information is available digitally and coded in a suitable manner for a company so that it can be further processed in a suitable machine. A simple example of this are text files .
Non-coded information often reaches companies from outside (for example in the form of delivery notes or creditors) and is either available in paper form or is digitized by scanning . In doing so, an electronic document is generated with which the visual reproduction of the original paper document is possible. For the conversion into coded information, further processing steps such as B. Text recognition with the help of OCR software or vectorization for digitizing graphics is necessary. When archiving NCI documents, metadata must be created because their content cannot be indexed directly.
