ESTABLISHMENT OF A COORDINATE INDEXING RETRIEVAL SYSTEM FOR THE AIR FORCE MATERIALS LABORATORY.
Abstract
A coordinate indexing system for a library containing over 10,000 documents has been established for the Air Force Materials Laboratory. The primary feature of this system is the ability to conduct either manual or computer searches. Manual searches are made using a dual dictionary that has been prepared by the University's NCR 304 computer. A thesaurus of over 18,000 multidisciplinary terms for this system has also been prepared. This report discusses in detail the indexing of documents using deep indexing with links and roles, the procedure used in editing the generated vocabulary, and, the various machine operations used in mechanizing the system. Briefly discussed are various studies made, or in the planning stage, to evalute several aspects of the system; in particular, an evaluation of the use of links and roles in the retrieval of information.
