analysis: The text appears to be discussing the development and improvement of the United Nations Bibliographic Information System (UNBIS) and its integration with other information systems. It mentions the use of optical discs for storage and retrieval of documents, as well as the need to enhance the system to facilitate retrieval of documents. The text does not seem to be related to economic development, natural resources, agriculture, forestry, fishing, industry, transport, communication, international trade, health, employment, humanitarian aid, or culture. It does seem to be related to science and technology, as it discusses the use of technology to improve the storage and retrieval of information.
