A generalized computer method for information retrieval

Abstract

A generalized method is given for performing information retrieval by computer. The method can be applied to systems varying in type, size, manner of use, and computer equipment. Systems with files of information‐retrieval data or document references may use the method. Options allow many or few searches to be performed during each pass of the file through the computer. Alternative searches or subsearches may be specified, and the upper and lower bounds on the number of retrieval references may be set. The options can be used to define the characteristics of a particular system so that necessary staff and equipment capacities can be determined. Output forms include reference numbers, abstracts, microfilm, and so forth, depending on the output equipment chosen. In addition to retrieval information, the output may include system‐use records, used to analyze and evaluate system efficiency automatically and to compare objectively one system with another. A block process diagram, a detailed flow chart for application to a computer, and a description of the application are provided.
