CATALOGUING AND RETRIEVAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION: A STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM,

Abstract

The report describes the extent of the environmental information retrieval, storage and dissemination problem. It discusses the interrelated elements of the problem of general information needs and evaluation of natural and induced environments, and the specific needs concerning the effects of environmental stresses as related to when, where, and how equipment is to be used, transported, stored and handled. Added to the discussion are the need for standardization of environmental terminology, test methods, and procedures; reliability, failure analyses and modes of failure; and the problems of quantity and quality of input information. Desirable criteria for a usable environmental information retrieval, storage and dissemination system are developed in the report. (Author)
