The study of this dissertation provides a solution to a very specific problem instance in the area of data mining, data warehousing, and service-oriented architecture in publishing and newspaper industries. The research question focuses on the integration of data mining and data warehousing. The research problem focuses on the development of…

Several algorithms were investigated which would allow a user to interact with an automatic document retrieval system by requesting relevance judgments on selected sets of documents. Two viewpoints were taken in evaluation. One measured the movement of queries toward the optimum query as defined by Rocchio; the other measured the retrieval…

A record format and file structure for searching and editing of large textual files have been designed within the 3RIP project. This document describes: (1) general characteristics of the system; (2) implementation of the system on a DEC 10 computer in the programming language, BLISS; (3) external record format; (4) internal format; and (5) file…

The computer system described was developed as a departmental aid in locating documents for use as teaching material or for research purposes in the area of information science. The data base of about 2,000 records includes a departmental library of manuals, reports, technical literature, and reprints, as well as journal references and book…

The literature on information literacy often assumes that there is an inherent link between the need for information literacy and what is commonly referred to as the information explosion. This assumed link is reflected in programs of information literacy instruction offered by academic libraries. This article argues that the basic concepts of…

The file design of the search system part of an interactive search and editing system, 3RIP, is described. A scatter-stored and compact inverted file is used to search a primary file of up to 4 million records containing on the order of 10-E9 characters of text and numeric data. Searchable attributes are keywords, words or phrases in text, names,…

An important factor to be considered in applying clustering techniques to information storage and retrieval problems is the use to be made of the resultant groupings. An examination of cluster criteria differentiation as a function of purpose may be fruitful in the exploitation of clustering techniques. (12 references) (Author/KE)

The author proposes a system using the HUC to identify all information and knowledge which can be reduced to a written, pictorial, oral, or machine readable record. The code designations, which may consist of letters, numerals, and other symbols and which average 12 to 18 characters in length, provide information in 12 fields: type of material,…

Characterized were the scientific and technical information needs of 1,500 scientists and engineers from 73 companies, 8 research institutes, and 2 universities; and the flow of scientific and technical information (flow process) inherent in satisfying these needs. Interviewers asked 63 questions in the subject areas of (1) the user of scientific…

This report is a survey of five on-line retrieval systems that, with one exception, have been used to demonstrate on-line access to the recently developed Committee on Scientific and Technical Information (COSATI) inventory of government sponsored work now in progress in the area of information sciences and technology. The report was prepared to…

Human individuals, social organizations and societies are alike in that their knowledge of past events is to some extent maintained and brought to bear on their behavior. On the individual level we know quite a bit of how this is accomplished. However, on the social level we know close to nothing. It is not the task of this paper to ascertain the…

Contained in this document are four selected articles from the Russian language periodical "Ekonomika i Organizatsiya Promyshlennogo Proizvodstva." The selections are: "The New Science of Information" by S.L. Sobolev, "On Ways to Develop Organizational Structures in Information Science" by V.D. Grober,…

The growth of the social sciences has necessitated the development of formal systems of information storage, retrieval and dissemination over and above any informal and personal contact between individuals. The writers examine some of the major problems related to the communication of information in sociology. (17 references) (Author/SJ)

This paper is aimed at the extension of some results obtained so far concerning information systems design based on qualified parametrical relations. (Author)
