Gallagher, Leonard J.; Draper, Jesse M. – 1984
A tutorial introduction to data models in general is provided, with particular emphasis on the relational and network models defined by the two proposed ANSI (American National Standards Institute) database language standards. Examples based on the network and relational models include specific syntax and semantics, while examples from the other…

Hultgren, Jan; Larsson, Rolf – 1973
This is a progress report on a project attempting to design a system of compacting text for storage appropriate to disc oriented demand searching. After noting a number of previously designed methods of compression, it offers a tentative solution which couples a dictionary of most frequent character-strings with a set of variable-length codes. The…

Claybrook, Billy G. – 1973
The computer language FOL is intended to facilitate the implementation of file organizations for information storage and retrieval systems. In many information storage and retrieval applications the designer, initially, does not know how best to organize a data base for efficient retrieval and ease of updating and modifying. It is felt that FOL…

Barton, Ian J.; And Others – 1973
A novel text analysis and characterization method involves the generation from text samples of sets of variable-length character strings. These sets are intermediate in number between the character set and the total number of words in a data base; their distribution is less disparate than those of either characters or words. The size of the sets…

Gaus, Wilhelm, Ed.; Henzler, Rolf, Ed. – 1977
The 13 papers collected here were presented at the Workshop on Data Documentation held at Reisenburg Castle, Federal Republic of Germany, in July 1975. This workshop was a first attempt to identify some of the problems in the field of data documentation, formulate them, and solve them as far as possible. The subject was approached from four…
