A Data Storage and Retrieval System for Earthquake Engineering

需要采取新的办法来促进传播和 利用地震产生的更多信息 减灾领域。 该项目将设计、开发和 建立一个原型数据存储和检索系统， 可容纳文本、线条画和连续色调图像的页面。 系统将接受搜索请求的形式序列 关键字，可以使用逻辑 连接词如“和”、“或”、“但不是”等，并将在 对每个请求的响应，登录号列表，或者可能的话， 满足要求的文件的页码和字数。 的 然后，阅读系统将以高分辨率呈现给用户 显示所需文档的图像，每次一页， 审查. 然后可以打印那些看起来感兴趣的页面 在合适的打印机上。 该计划将使用当前的技术，或 小的扩展，以创建一个系统，将满足所有的 上述要求，具有低系统成本，并允许大量的 信息的传播非常便宜。

Novel approaches are needed to facilitate the dissemination and utilization of the increased information produced in the earthquake hazard mitigation field. This project will design, develop, and produce a prototype data storage and retrieval system which will accommodate pages of text, line drawings, and continuous tone images. The system will accept search requests in the form of a sequence of keywords which can be associated with one another using logical connectives such as "and", "or", "but not", etc., and will produce in response to each request, a list of the accession numbers, or possibly page and word numbers, of those documents satisfying the request. The reading system will then present to the user on a high resolution display, an image of the required documents, a page at a time, for review. Those pages which appear to be of interest can then be printed on a suitable printer. This program will use current technology, or minor extensions thereof, to create a system which will meet all of the above requirements, have a low system cost, and allow a large amount of information to be disseminated very inexpensively.
