Paijmans, H. – Microcomputers for Information Management, 1988
Discusses the design and implementation of database management systems for low-organized and natural language text on small computers. Emphasis is on the efficient storage and access of primary (text) and secondary (dictionary) files. Possible expansions to the system to increase its use in linguistic research are considered. (six references)…

Wolfram, Dietmar – Microcomputers for Information Management, 1992
Outlines the file structure requirements for a microcomputer-based information retrieval system using FoxPro, a relational database management system (DBMS). Issues relating to the design and implementation of such systems are discussed, and two possible designs are examined in terms of space economy and practicality of implementation. (15…

Paz, Noemi; And Others – Microcomputers for Information Management, 1989
Discusses methods for the retrieval of help knowledge items using graphical tree structures that conform to the hierarchical nature of the tutorial information being referenced. The implementation of "Study Tree Presenter," a special purpose "hypertext shell" that provides such access is described and several samples of screen…

Lin, Sharon Chien – Microcomputers for Information Management, 1994
Describes two phases of the automation of library and information services in mainland China. From 1974-86, much effort was concentrated on developing computer systems, databases, online retrieval, and networking. From 1986 to the present, practical progress became possible largely because of CD-ROM technology; and large scale networking for…
