Peer reviewedCarroll, David M.; And Others – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1988
Describes the use of a highly parallel array processor for pattern matching operations in a bibliographic retrieval system. The discussion covers the hardware and software features of the processor, the pattern matching algorithm used, and the results of experimental tests of the system. (37 references) (Author/CLB)

Peer reviewedJones, Susan; And Others – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1995
Discusses the feasibility of building intelligent rule- or weight-based algorithms into general-purpose software for interactive thesaurus navigation. Previous research is surveyed; practical investigations in thesaurus navigation and query enhancement are described; and implications for automatic or intelligent thesaurus navigation are…

Peer reviewedRuge, Gerda; And Others – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1991
Describes a system that was developed in Germany for natural language processing (NLP) to improve free text analysis for information retrieval. Techniques from empirical linguistics are discussed, system architecture is explained, and rules for dealing with conjunctions in dependency analysis for free text processing are proposed. (13 references)…

Peer reviewedJones, Leslie P.; And Others – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1990
Describes two computer programs--INDEX and INDEXD--that use statistical information about repeated phrases in documents to automatically index documents at the conceptual level. Sample output of the programs is provided, and plans to combine this method with linguistic and artificial intelligence techniques to provide a general conceptual…

Peer reviewedSchwarz, Christoph – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1990
Discusses problems encountered with the syntactic analysis of free text documents in indexing. Postcoordination and precoordination of terms is discussed, an automatic indexing system call COPSY (context operator syntax) that uses natural language processing techniques is described, and future developments are explained. (60 references) (LRW)

Peer reviewedYee, Martha M. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1991
Discusses features of online public access catalogs: (1) demonstration of relationships between records; (2) provision of entry vocabularies; (3) arrangement of multiple entries on the screen; (4) provision of access points; (5) display of single records; and (6) division of catalogs into separate files or indexes. User studies and other research…

Peer reviewedDutta, S.; Sinha, P. K. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1984
Describes adoption at Sorghum and Millets Information Center (India) of Pragmatic Approach to Subject Index (PASI), computer-manipulative indexing procedure in which key words are arranged in meaningful sequence. Indexing problems, search for suitable system, PASI indexing steps, and computerization are discussed. Thirteen references and…
