Sasamoto, Mitsuo; And Others – Journal of Chemical Documentation, 1973
Two systems, WLN and Ringcode, for retrieving structural information were analyzed qualitatively and evaluated for a series of chemical compounds. The studies ranged from specific to generic questions and also involved retrieval by fragments. Neither system was completely satisfactory for all types of searches. (6 references) (Author)

Soergel, Dagobert – Drexel Library Quarterly, 1982
This discussion of the general principles of structure and construction of numeric databases introduces the concept of data points, their relationship to each other, and their storage in a nonredundant way. The collection of numeric data and their integration into the database structure are explained. Eight references are cited. (EJS)

Prywes, Noah S.; And Others – 1973
The paper reports on a series of programs that have been developed at the Moore School to process data-bases, consisting of textual items, and to index and arrange the data items in accordance with an automatically generated classification system. The programs produce the directories and the rearranged data-base on microfilm, where it may be…

Clark, Robert A. – 1969
This bibliography attempts to pull together the land use methodology techniques that have been evolving in major transportation studies and developing in conventional planning agencies. In a commentary preceding the 83 references, the author discusses the state-of-the-art of land use methodology. The major components of a land use inventory are…

Pietrzyk, Alfred, Comp.; And Others – 1968
Based on material collected for system-automation studies within the efforts of the Linguistic Documentation Program toward development of a Language Information Network and Clearinghouse System (LINCS), the bibliography lists 216 references under the headings: (1) Survey, Reviews, Symposia (19 references); (2) File-organization Principles (18…

Cooper, David; Lynch, Michael F. – Information Processing and Management, 1984
Suggests new method of external distribution called tree partitioning that involves use of binary tree to split incoming file into successively smaller partitions for internal sorting. Number of disc accesses during a tree-partitioning sort were calculated in simulation using files extracted from British National Bibliography catalog files. (19…

Askinazi, R. B.; Papina, I. L. – 1969
The paper deals with one method of organizing the storage unit of a descriptor IPS (information retrieval system) of the SPOD type, the information array of which constitutes the totality of uniform documents with ordered disposition of data within each of them. Three categories of data composing the retrieval form of document were defined…

Vance, David; Heller, Jack – 1971
The logical structure of the data bank is described from the user's point of view, without reference to machine implementation. The length of files, records, segments, and fields are variable and unlimited; duplication factors are unlimited; sequence of files, records within file, and segments within record are random. All data are subject to…

Navarre, Carolyn E.; Stovall, Anthony M. – 1976
This paper describes a locally-developed multi-purpose system that stores data about any number of special collections within the libraries and prints that data in a number of formats on demand or as scheduled reports. The system operates on an IBM 360/67 dual processer with data entry via a teleprocessing system. The key to the file is the call…
