This document describes a proposed alignment between BIBFRAME (Bibliographic Framework) and a model being explored by the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) with extensions proposed by the Schema Bib Extend project, a Worldwide Web Consortium sponsored (W3C-sponsored) community group tasked with enhancing Schema.org to the description of…

This paper describes how the problem of resolution of syntactic ambiguities is approached in the parser PHRASE, developed for use in experiments in automatic indexing and extracting. PHRASE is a multi-level parser for declarative sentences, in which the syntactic structure is built up in four stages. (10 references) (Author)

Progress is reported on the development of a partial syntactic analysis technique for indexing text. Although over 500,000 words of text have been indexed, this report is limited to the analysis of results at the 115,000 word level. There is the expectation that the error rate of commission, the selection of grammatically incorrect word sequences,…

Progress is reported at the 1,000,000 word level on the development of a partial syntatic analysis technique for indexing text. A new indexing subroutine for hyphens is provided. New grammars written and programmed for Machine Aided Indexing (MAI) are discussed. (ED 069 290 is a related document) (Author)

A syntax methodology provides a descriptive mechanism to enable machine readable storage and retrieval of numeric data contained in bibliographic documents. The body of this paper treats the nature of "the syntax,""the data element," and the language by which this syntax is expressed. A discussion of the methodology illustrates…

THE STUDY IS CONCERNED WITH THE LINGUISTIC PROBLEM INVOLVED IN TEXT COMPRESSION--EXTRACTING, INDEXING, AND THE AUTOMATIC CREATION OF SPECIAL-PURPOSE CITATION DICTIONARIES. IN SPITE OF EARLY SUCCESS IN USING LARGE-SCALE COMPUTERS TO AUTOMATE CERTAIN HUMAN TASKS, THESE PROBLEMS REMAIN AMONG THE MOST DIFFICULT TO SOLVE. ESSENTIALLY, THE PROBLEM IS TO…

This paper proposes a data management technique which frees the linguist's time from purely mechanical function better performed through purely mechanical means, thus permitting the linguist to utilize the savings in time to perform those tasks for which he is most highly trained. The number of combinations possible in terms of columns on the data…

A LINGUISTIC PROCESSING SYSTEM, WHICH HAS BEEN DEVELOPED FOR CHINESE TO ENGLISH MACHINE TRANSLATION, UTILIZING THE CONTEXTUAL ASSOCIATIVE METHOD WAS DESCRIBED. THE REPORT INCLUDES (1) AN EXPLANATION OF THE LINGUISTIC PROCESSING SYSTEM, (2) MORPHOLOGICAL AND SYNTACTIC ANALYSES, AND (3) AN ANALYSIS OF ENGLISH INFLECTION. MACHINE APPLICABILITY WAS…

The strategy for PASP proposed here is characterized by the: (1) ad hoc nature of some of its parts; (2) use of a linear string grammar, (3) definition of probability rules, (4) translation of those rules into a priori rules for the string grammar, (5) context sensitivity, and (6) flexibility of the system.

This report describes an optimization phase of the SYSTRAN (System Translation) machine translation technique. The most distinctive characteristic of SYSTRAN is the absence of pre-editing; the program reads tapes containing raw and unedited Russian texts, carries out dictionary and table lookups, performs all syntactic analysis procedures, and…

FUNDAMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS OF FICTIONAL PROSE STYLE WERE STUDIED THROUGH SYSTEMATIC AND OBJECTIVE ANALYSES OF NOVELISTIC SYNTAX AND VOCABULARY. SAMPLE PASSAGES FROM THE MAJOR NOVELS OF JANE AUSTEN, THE BRONTE SISTERS, AND GEORGE ELIOT AS WELL AS NOVELS BY 13 OTHER AUTHORS WERE ANALYZED. INFORMATION ON PASSAGE SENTENCES, CLAUSES, AND WORDS WAS…

A COMPUTER PROCEDURE IS DESCRIBED FOR PARSING RUSSIAN SENTENCES WITH A CONTEXT-FREE RECOGNITION GRAMMAR. THIS IS THE FIRST PROJECT UNDER A PROGRAM FOR THE INVESTIGATION OF SEVERAL ASPECTS OF NATURAL LANGUAGE DATA PROCESSING BY FORMALIZED METHODS TO DETERMINE THE USEFULNESS OF FORMALIZED LINGUISTIC TECHNIQUES IN PRACTICAL LANGUAGE DATA PROCESSING…

A transformational model offers a way to eliminate the middleman (programmer) in acccessing a computerized data base. It provides a basis for the algorithms which analyze the input query. The linguistic analysis of the sentence string is translated into system terms and the required operations are carried out. (28 references) (Author/NH)

THE VERSATILITY AND ADVANTAGES OF USING ON-LINE INTERACTIVE DISPLAYS ARE ILLUSTRATED BY EXAMPLES FROM (1) THE GENERAL PURPOSE DISPLAY SYSTEM (GPDS), (2) THE PATTERN LEARNING PARSER (PLP II), AND (3) THE BIBLIOGRAPHIC ON-LINE DISPLAY SYSTEM (BOLD). ALTHOUGH THESE SYSTEMS ARE DESIGNED FOR DIFFERENT PURPOSES THEY ALL UTILIZE DISPLAYS AS COMMUNICATION…

A COMPUTER ANALYSIS OF SPOKEN WORDS AND PHRASES WAS OBTAINED IN 1959 FROM THE RESPONSES OF 33 NATIVE INFORMANTS FROM 23 COUNTIES IN TENNESSEE, GEORGIA, MISSISSIPPI, AND ALABAMA. INFORMANTS WERE ASKED TO IDENTIFY PICTURES, AND THEIR RESPONSES WERE RECORDED ON TAPE AND TRANSCRIBED. A COMPUTER WAS UTILIZED TO PRODUCE LISTINGS OF PARTICULAR SPEECH…
