Information Retrieval And Indexing Implementation For A Digital Academic Transcript System

Abstract

This article presents a framework for an information retrieval and indexing management system for a digital transcript system which will help overcome the undesirable problem associated with student’s grades, slow and strenuous accessibility of student report and records and poor information management within the school. The objective of this research is to propose and implement an algorithm that would optimize data and preserve them in an eco-friendly manner. A review was observed that a strong case has been made for the adoption of indexing in an information retrieval system. Despite the challenges facing users, they have shown a remarkable willingness to adapt to this technology but the time, high cost of infrastructures and complexity involved during the process required for full implementation of indexing has been the major limiting factor. The proposed algorithm developed will ensure easy flow of information and accurate information management for digital transcript systems. The methods of indexing and query formulation have been proposed and implemented. Evaluation also shows that a good percentage have analyzed the system to be efficient, satisfied and fairly easy to learn.
