    Abstract
    Fuzzy searching does not depend upon an exact match between a searcher's question and a database record for retrieval to occur; a close similarity is enough. Explains the technique. Indicates two specific areas in which it is currently being applied. Assesses its implications for text retrieval in general

    Abstract
    The digitisation of images produces large data files. A scanned A4 size line drawing might typically occupy 80Kb, a 5 inch by 4 inch black and white photograph 400Kb and the colour equivalent 4Mb. Describes technology for compressing image files with the example of Wirral Metropolitan college's 112 black and white photographs with text and display software compressed onto a 1.44Mb diskette. This was achieved by fractal image compressioin which may operate up to ratios of 100:1. Explains the advantages of Dr. Michael Barnsley's Fractal Transform. It is particularly effective for complex, high resolution images of nature

    Abstract
    Reviews Inmagic Plus, the text retrieval software from Soutron Ltd. It includes a menu driven search interface and modern database management facilities such as a comprehensive data validation facility and the ability to defer the indexing of new records to an overnight batch process. While not using a relational database architecture, Inmagic Plus is highly flexible in the way that it handles different record structures together. Provides the example of Penspen Ltd's use of Inmagic for managing technical standards documents

    Abstract
    Gives a background to the development of Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules and discusses how the current situation has come about. Describes an outline of the working structure the present situation and how it may, or may not progress in the next five years. Examines whether all benefits from the use of such a code have been derived and whether future progress is possible

    Abstract
    During 1994, Dataware Technologies acquired the BRS/SEARCH text retrieval package from InfoPro Technologies, as well as exclusive worldwide marketing rights for the Total Recall application programming interface from Kinesis. The products are now being used to create information management applications which offer users the best of 2 very different worlds: the processing power of the relational database, together with the content based searching facilities of a text retrieval system. Discusses the advantages of this, noting also that the package can be used in setting up WWW sites
