A computer system for inference execution and data retrieval

ABSTRACT

This paper presents a RAND project concerned with the use of computers as assistants in the logical analysis of large collections of factual data. A system called the Relational Data File was developed for this purpose. The Relational Data File is briefly detailed and problems arising from its implementation are discussed.
