Abstract
This article describes practical solutions to problems encountered over more than five years of operating a fully automated Web‐based digital document submission, registration, and distribution system. The author began creating the system in 1997 to support the activities of a Technical Committee of the International Committee for Information Technology Standardization (INCITS). Since then, the system has received continual enhancement and expansion. The register now contains more than 8,000 documents submitted by Committee participants, stored as PDF files occupying more than 4 gigabytes of storage, which interested parties world‐wide regularly access. A similar architecture and document registration system could be used to support any physically dispersed group cooperating on any type of project. The library is located on a public Web site and readers are encouraged to access it.
