Micro CDS/ISIS is an advanced non-numerical information storage and retrieval
software developed by UNESCO since 1985 to satisfy the need expressed by
many institutions, especially in developing countries, to be able to streamline
their information processing activities by using modern (and relatively
inexpensive) technologies. The software was originally based on the Mainframe
version of CDS/ISIS, started in the late '60s, thus taking advantage of several
years of experience acquired in its development.
