And Others; Eckermann, E. H. – Journal of Chemical Documentation, 1972
Almost three million records covering approximately 175,000 chemical compounds and involving multiple disciplines have been recorded in the Army Antimalarial Drug Program. Maximum compartmentalization of files together with a complete method of interfacing files and a unique number system has made it possible to manage this system. (2 references)…

Strong, Suzanne Marvin – 1973
An algorithm for generating a structural syntactic surrogate of English text is defined in this paper. The "performance" of the surrogate is judged empirically according to adherence to the following criteria: (1) The surrogate is an organized representation of natural language text; (2) The algorithm which produces the surrogate is…

Dacey, Michael F. – 1971
The frequent reference by geographers and cartographers to 'the language of maps' is made precise by clarifying ways in which maps and other formulations of geographic information constitute a language. Aspects of this language are identified, and emphasis is placed on the use of linguistic concepts for study of models of geographic information…

Chenhall, Robert G. – 1975
Several museum information processing systems are discussed in relation to their underlying assumptions regarding museum information and networking needs that have resulted in inadequate service to some kinds of museums, particularly historical museums. Rather than any of these systems, a modular approach is proposed that would allow each museum…
