Desenvolvimento de um workflow para processamento e a produção digital de documentos

Abstract

This work presents a detailed study about the process of scanning documents. It is reported the importance and benefits arising from the adoption of this technology, discussing the concepts involving electronic document management and workflow technology. Through a case study based on scientific initiation project, each of the steps belonging to the document scanning process (capture, image processing, optical character recognition, metadata and storage) are properly specified, containing a list of their activities and its free software that were used. Finally, we established a possible integration of these tools through a workflow. As a result, the work will provide basis for institutions to adopt this low-cost technology for the digitization of its collections.
