EASY ENGLISH, A LANGUAGE FOR INFORMATION RETRIEVAL THROUGH A REMOTE TYPEWRITER CONSOLE

Abstract

Easy English is a natural command language designed to simplify communication between man and machine through a remote typewriter console. It is made up of readily recognized sentences of the English language, sentences which any layman might be expected to use in everyday requests for services or articles from a familiar source. Easy English was developed as a command language for retrieval of documents from a computerized data base, specifically from the Moore School Information Systems Laboratory (MSISL) files. It is intended for all information retrieval systems using remote typewriter consoles in a conversational mode.
