Number Of Segments

A new method of organizing an information storage and retrieval system is proposed and theoretically evaluated. The method uses a special normal form into which the queries entering the system are transformed. This normal form enables one to determine easily the decomposition of the set of records relevant to a query into the minimal number of segments of records stored in consecutive storage locations, and to compute the addresses of the beginning and end of each of these segments.

Operating Instructions

A comprehensive description is given of a retrieval system which can be applied to the personal library of an individual scientist, to the general library of a laboratory or research unit, and to bibliographies of abstracts. The methods used are described in terms of their application to the field of Human Factors, but they are relevant to similar information storage and retrieval problem in any field. Primary features of the system are the serial assignment of accession numbers, an author card file, an accession card file, search using ‘feature’ cards (‘peek-a-boo’), a specially designed desk for storing, punching, and searching the feature cards, and the adoption of the Tufts Topical Outline as the index language. Full operating instructions are given in an appendix.

Storage And Retrieval

Auf der Basis eines Hash-Verfahrens in Verbindung mil invertierten Listen wurde ein Programmsystem (das sogenannte ,,Spurendokumentations-System", SPUDOK) geschaffen,das die Speicherung und Verwaltung von Daten beliebiger Struktur, insbesondere auch unformatierter Daten, ermöglicht. Dabei kann jedes Datenelement bzw. Textelementals Suchbegriff zum Zweck der Daten-Aktualisierung und des Recherchierens im Bestand benutzt werden. SPUDOK wird seit längerem für verschiedene polizeiliche Anwendungsbereiche - insbesondere der kriminalpolizeilichen Ermittlungstätigkeit - in Nordrhein-Westfalen und Bayern eingesetzt und hat sich aufgrund seiner Benutzerfreundlichkeit und Flexibilität hervorragend bewährt.
