Abstract

In this discussion we are ultimately concerned with the problem of developing a fully mechanized information selection and retrieval system. For the immediate purpose of this report, however, we will be concerned with only a part of the problem - - namely outlining those parts of the information selection and retrieval problem which may profitably be investigated from the point of view of certain techniques in structural linguistics.
