Post-Processing of Bibliographic Citations from DOE/RECON, NASA/RECON, and DoD/DROLS,
Abstract
We have developed an interactive, self-guided program for the joint post-processing of bibliographic citations from the federal information centers of the Departments of Energy and Defense, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. This program is currently installed on the Intelligent Gateway Processor of the Technology Information System (TIS/IGP) at the Lawrence Livermore National Lab and is under evaluation by the TIS user community from remote terminals by telephone dial-up, over TYMNET, and the ARPA computer network. Users are individually authorized for automated access to specific information centers, and use standard commands for the downloading, compiling , and online review of citations in a common format. Previously reported post-processing capabilities have been expanded, permitting: 1) Online citation review, categorization, and addition of new data elements; 2) Disassembly and re-assembly of citations; 3) Statistical analysis of data field contents; 4) Cross correlation of data field contents; and 5) Concordance generation. The new two-pass interpreter for the post-processing program also permits the transformation of abbreviated data field names into English names preferred by each agency, the statistical analysis of the density and completeness of data fields in selected sets of bibliographic citations, the elimination of redundant citations (using user-specified criteria), and trend analysis. The latter is a powerful tool for exploring time-dependent characteristics in a particular field of research, of an organization, or for an author.
