This study investigated the longitudinal trends of e-learning research using text mining techniques. Six hundred and eighty-nine (689) refereed journal articles and proceedings were retrieved from the Science Citation Index/Social Science Citation Index database in the period from 2000 to 2008. All e-learning publications were grouped into two…

A survey of automatic indexing systems and experiments has been conducted by the Research Information Center and Advisory Service on Information Processing, Information Technology Division, Institute for Applied Technology, National Bureau of Standards. Consideration is first given to indexes compiled by or with the aid of machines, including…

This paper provides the description, documentation and users' and programmers' guide for the keyword out of context (KWOC) library indexing system, with coding references, program flow charts, program listings, procedure flow charts and instructions for maintenance and operation. (Author)

This review of the Keyword-in-Context (KWIC) indexing considers its inception by Luhn, its original format and purpose, various applications and uses of the basic KWIC concept, its advantages and disadvantages, and evaluations of its effectiveness. (30 references) (Author/NH)

Computerization seems to offer some solutions to the inadequacies of the card catalog. However, vocabulary obstacles must be overcome before the history, art history, and art students alike can enter libraries all over the world and quickly satisfy their various needs. (10 references) (Author/NH)

A series of computer programs to handle natural language retrieval and analysis in a manner analogous to that of a statistical package is discussed. The document presents an overview of several language analysis projects currently underway, and of several research approaches to problems in language analysis. The manner in which the Language…

The computerized conversion of Wiswesser Line Notations to Ring Codes, using a two-part approach, and the set of computer programs generated for the conversion of ring systems are described. (9 references) (Author)

The Language Analysis Package (LAP) was developed by the Southwest Regional Laboratory (SWRL) to assist researchers in the analysis of language usage. The function of the KWIC (Keyword-in Context or Concordance) Module of the LAP is to produce keyword listings from the input text being analyzed. Such listings will contain location information…

Several problems of finding keys in directories are considered. Methods of searching ordered and unordered directories are analyzed. Searching on ranges of key values in also considered. Finally, design tradeoffs among the classes of directory and searching strategies are developed. (4 references) (Author/SJ)

Automatic processing of the bibliography on vapor-liquid equilibrium data is done by means of a specially developed mnemonic coding system. (Author/JB)

Provides an introduction to various reference sources which are useful in dealing with the areas of data processing, office automation, and communications technologies. A bibliography with vendor listings is included. (FM)

THIS BOOK WAS PREPARED TO PROVIDE AN INDEX OF ENGLISH EQUIVALENTS FOR THE BASIC SPOKEN GERMAN WORD LIST BY THE AUTHOR. THE ENGLISH MEANINGS OF EACH GERMAN TERM ARE PRESENTED IN ORDER OF DECREASING FREQUENCY. THIS BOOK WAS PUBLISHED BY PRENTICE-HALL INC., ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NEW JERSEY 07632, 1965, 107 PAGES. RELATED REPORTS ARE AA 000 101 AND AA 000…

A program is described which identifies functional group interconversion reactions, hydrogenations, and dehydrogenations in a data base containing structures encoded as Wiswesser Line Notations. Production of the data base is briefly described. (17 references) (Authors)

This study of musicology develops computer programs, data, and procedures for using the computer in the field of thematic indexing. The thematic index is a means of identifying anonymous works, arranging and cataloging the works of a particular composer or genre, and collating the varied manuscript and printed sources of a particular form or…

Describes the theoretical framework of a retrieval system that uses data structures called bitmaps to improve search algorithms for medium-sized systems. Information retrieval systems that contain the full text of the documents are discussed, and the use of inverted files such as concordances for small texts is explained. (24 references) (LRW)
