An English summary is provided for this French article which describes the first stage of a research project using the Bose, Ghosh and Abraham theory with attributes of multiple values applied to a file containing a large number (10 6) of records. (7 references) (Author/SJ)

An experimental procedure for indexing physical materials based on simple syntactical rules was tested by encoding the materials in the journal, Applied Physics Letters,'' to produce a materials index. The syntax and numerous examples together with an indication of the method by which retrieval can be effected are presented. (5 references)…

Described is a storage and retrieval system developed for a pharmaceutical firm for internal document control. There is a thesaurus and four data files. Two important features include coordinate indexing using roles and links as well as the use of Wiswesser Line Notation for storing compounds. (3 references) (Author/SJ)

Substantial degrees of compression of bibliographical data bases result from the application to them of a modified form of run-length coding. (14 references) (Author)

A brief history of bibliographic activities of the U.S. Geological Survey, including development of a computerized publishing system is given. Also described is the design of the bibliographic search system, application of the Generalized Information Processing System (GIPSY) to storage and retrieval of earth sciences literature, and preliminary…

Indicates how a college, with an IBM 1130 computer, can facilitate information storage and retrieval by using magnetic disc storage in conjunction with ACT Program, 80-column Hollerith-type card format especially designed for the college. (JF)

Discusses information storage techniques and problems that libraries face with deteriorating paper materials as well as previous storage techniques, such as microfilm. Considers the loss of information when original paper sources are destroyed and newer techniques become obsolete and suggests approaches to minimize the loss of critical…

Discusses the adaptive compression of computer files of numerical data whose statistical properties are not given in advance. A new lossless coding method for this purpose, which utilizes Adelson-Velskii and Landis (AVL) trees, is proposed. The method is effective to any word length. Its application to the lossless compression of gray-scale images…

Suggests strategies that make hard disk organization easy and efficient, such as making, changing, and removing directories; grouping files by subject; naming files effectively; backing up efficiently; and using PATH. (JOW)
