AUTOMATION OF THE ABC SYSTEM. PART 1. LINGUISTIC PROBLEMS AND OUTLINE OF A PROTOTYPE TEST
Abstract
To advance the ABC system toward the automation of its retrieval and analytical input operations, linguistic problems were studied, and a prototype computerized retrieval test was conducted. A vector-type organization was imposed on the test collection. An appropriate measuring tool was constructed and used (a) to evaluate a variety of system parameters (ca 50 test runs were required) and (b) to rate different systems that evolve from the basic ABC model. The process of computerizing the standardization of ABC descriptors as well as the production of a comprehensive thesaurus (presenting terminology with associations and functions) are described and so are the methods prepared for progressive automation of the analytical effort in future test models.
