Abstract

A detailed description of the nature of ASTIA'S report literature control problem and the evaluation of a mechanized system for storage and retrieval of document references pertaining to science, technology, and medicine. The application of the thesaurus concept for control of an indexing vocabulary is related and the revision of the First Edition of the Thesaurus of ASTIA Descriptors is explained.
