Abstract: Describes the use of MenUSE, developed at the National Library of Medicine in the USA on an IBM personal computer, in improving multilingual access to document databases. Explains how using menus enabled searching the NLM MEDLINE database in French and how the system was developed for application in other languages and databases in other subjects, such as the European Parliament System EPOQUE

Abstract

This paper discusses constraints in knowledge organisation for information retrieval introduced by the difficulty of separating logical views of data, information, concepts and their relationships, from the physical means by which we seek to implement retrieval systems. A parallel is drawn between the move from enumerated to faceted classification and the emergence of relational database management systems to replace those adopting a hierarchical structure. This parallel suggests a convergence of ideas which have been, to a large extent, developed independently. The role of post-coordinated retrieval systems and thesauri is then examined before an interface design (HIBROWSE - a High resolution Interface for BROWsing and SEarching databases), is described which brings together the principles of faceted classification and increases the bandwidth of interaction through view-based searching.
