AN EXPERIMENTAL ON-LINE DATA STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL SYSTEM

Abstract

This report describes an experimental program system designed to test and demonstrate on-line storage and retrieval of formatted data based on complete internal descriptions of the files. The use of internal descriptions allows each user (who need not be a trained programmer) to define, modify, and cross-associate data files to suit his particular needs. The experimental program system was implemented by remote use of the Compatible TimeSharing System (CTSS) facilities of Project MAC at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
