Describes a generic software tool, Objective-C, that detects and corrects data inconsistency in databases. In this study, heterogeneous bibliographic information is integrated by using the message-object model to implement data abstraction methodologies. Citation translation problems are discussed and future directions for research are suggested.…

Investigates applicability of inverted file processing in magnetic bubble memories by presenting four magnetic bubble memory models as storage mediums: one based on a major-minor loop configuration; one utilizing a decoder design on a magnetic bubble memory chip; and two based on different structural configurations of the first two. (MBR)

Describes a project aimed at developing a system to support managers of business software projects by incorporating knowledge acquisition and emphasizing the integration of the manager's tasks. The discussion covers the knowledge acquisition methodology, the architecture of an integrated system, and an overview of project management tasks. (15…

Discusses possibility of using expert systems to develop new model in cataloging theory made necessary by technological progress, rising user expectations, and economic pressures. A data structure for bibliographic information required by Anglo American Cataloging Rules, 2nd edition, (AACR2) is suggested, and possible heuristics for interpreting…

Presents an attempt to develop an integrated overall management information system growth and integration theory for small organizations. The three dimensions that facilitate information integration progress (i.e., electronic data processing evolution, computerized tools, and user types) are presented, analyzed, and characterized. Guidelines for…

Discusses the shift of information access from a data-centered to a user-centered model and describes the Daltext system, a prototype user-centered information system that allows the user to determine how the data will be viewed (i.e., within a datastream model, a set model, a relational model, and/or a hierarchical model). (Contains 30…

Describes a semantic content recognition process based on relatively small sets of context relators, logical relators, phase and state relators, and aspect relators, which are connecting tools in describing meanings in process of concept formation and human communication. Semantic analysis of textual data by computer is tested for feasibility.…
