Implementation of a free-format request profile in a system for retrieving references to scientific publications.
A process is described whereby a set of instructions in free format can be used to control a search of a data file in an efficient manner. The implications of the effectiveness of this process are considered in relation to a system for the storage and retrieval of references to published works in a typical scientific research establishment. Details of this system have been described earlier.
