| Abstract: | The structure of a retrospective information retrieval system that uses equifrequent word or text fragments is described, and its advantages over word oriented systems are mentioned briefly. Word fragments are proposed as retrieval elements, and a discussion is given of the changes required in order to process a query. Some necessary modifications in the treatment of logical operators are described, and two conditions are postulated as necessary for the successful operation of the system. Aspects of query processing are illustrated by experimental results obtained from single and two-term queries applied to a portion of the MARC tapes. |
