Organizing Information: Principles of Data Base and Retrieval Systems

摘要: This book gives a theoretical base and perspective for the analysis, design, operation of information systems, particularly their storage retrieval (ISAR) component, whether mechanized or manual. Information systems deal with many types entities: events, persons, documents, business transactions, museum objects, research projects, technical parts, to name few. Among purposes serve are inform public, support managers, researchers, engineers, provide knowledge an artificial intelligence program. The principles discussed in this apply all these contexts. achieves generality by drawing on ideas from two conceptually overlapping areas - data management organization use libraries integrating into coherent framework. design new and, more importantly, analysis existing order exploit capabilities better, circumvent shortcomings, introduce modifications where feasible.
