A MECHANIZED INFORMATION SERVICES CATALOG

Beatrice Marron

Dennis Fife

NBS is mechanizing a catalog of currently

available information sources and services.

Information from recent surveys of machinereadable, commercially- available bibliographic

data bases, and the various current awareness,

batch retrospective, and interactive retrospective services which can access them, has been

correlated and converted into a machine-readable

data base. A prototype searching capability has

been established on an operational interactive

retrieval system. Reasons for establishing the

catalog and the choice of the initial information

are detailed and the prototype implementation is

described. Sample queries are included, as well

as a to-date listing of the catalog. Plans for

future development are discussed.

Key words: Bibliographic data bases; computerbased systems ; information services ; information

systems

1. INTRODUCTION

Over the past year, in cooperation with the National

Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Science Information

Service*, the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) has

collected, organized, and identified significant technical

data on widely available mechanized information services

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]**. Altogether, these strongly point out

the broad, increasing scope and variety of automated data

bases and services , but also raise questions of how their

use can be encouraged and effectively guided to benefit

researchers and Government agencies. A few statistics

illustrate the dimensions of the problem: at least 80

commercially-available machine-readable bibliographic data

bases [3]; at least 150 general-purpose data management

software packages [4] and about 50 interactive information

retrieval systems [2, 7]; at least 6 6 information centers offering current awareness or retrospective search services [5].

'-Interagency Agreement #NSF-CA68.

""Numbers in brackets refer to references at end of report.

1
Many of the technical and non-technical issues of

present concern to managers of information science research

and development can only be addressed with rather complete

knowledge of these available services. In some disciplines

the same data bases are being processed by different systems,

resulting in redundant and perhaps more costly services. In

other disciplines there is inadequate effort. There are

unresolved questions of the value of problem-oriented rather

than discipline-oriented data bases and services. There are

questions about the legality of interdisciplinary data bases.

There are cost /benefit /effectiveness questions revolving

around the need for on-line and interactive bibliographic

systems vs. the slower but cheaper batch services. There are

the problems of copyright, lease and royalty arrangement.

There are problems of duplication of coverage, both in the

data bases, and in the use of the data bases. There are

problems of standardization of formats for citations, tapes,

etc. The efficacy of information analysis centers is still

being debated. Networking of information services offers

solutions, but also poses new problems [8]. Problems of

non-standard system protocols must be addressed [9]. Economic factors and user needs [10] must be analyzed.

To assure that accurate, current and convenient-to-use

information is available for systems analysis on these

problem areas, NBS is mechanizing a catalog of presently

available information services. In addition to putting the

necessary data "within reach" of computer programs for

analysis and modeling, this will encourage use of these

services by making their existence and capabilities known

through the medium of computer information service itself.

Further, as both the technology and the body of data grow,

perhaps this catalog of information services could become a

resource on one of the emerging information networks.

This report details the creation and use of the catalog

to date. In Section 2 the rationale for selection of the

systems and services to be included is presented. The

implementation of the catalog on an operational interactive

retrieval system is described in Section 3. Typical use of

the catalog with sample printouts are included in Section 4.

Tentative plans for continuation and improvement are presented

in Section 5. Finally, a listing of the current contents of

the catalog is included in Section 6.

2. SELECTION OF INFORMATION SOURCES AND SERVICES

There is a wealth of recently conducted surveys on

mechanized information sources and services [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,

7]. However, the means for correlating the facts presented
in these collections are frequently not available. Thus 5 while one can, for example, determine relevant machinereadable data bases, one cannot easily determine the

availability of systems and services which can access these

data bases. Information on current awareness services is

not usually included in surveys of batch retrospective

services or interactive retrospective services, and viceversa.

This catalog is an attempt to correlate such information,

and to organize it for ready reference from a variety of

access points. There was a conscious decision to refrain

from conducting further surveys, but rather to use existing

information. The primary aim was to create a basic file and

demonstrate its feasibility and usefulness. Decisions on

mechanisms to expand and maintain the file were deferred to

a later date.

With these criteria in mind, it was decided to restrict

the initial file to the large commercially-available,

machine-readable bibliographic data bases, and three kinds

of public retrieval services (current awareness, batch

retrospective, and interactive retrospective) that can access

them. Later, private files, data files, and in-house

services could be added.

The recent "Survey of Commercially Available ComputerReadable Bibliographic Data Bases " [3], conducted by the

American Society for Information Science, was chosen as the

basis of the initial catalog. The information on the 81

major data bases described therein forms the catalog content

on data bases. Many of the catalog record items (originator,

contact, address, dates) could be taken directly from the

survey document. Some of the record items had to be expanded

to increase the catalog's usefulness (abstract, keywords,

various alternative spellings of names and acronyms).

There was no well-constructed single source for the

three kinds of retrieval services which were to be included.

Further complications resulted from some systems offering

more than one kind of _ service (e.g., current awareness as well as retrospective searching) . Some systems offered

services for a fee, whereas others offered to only sell their

software. The decision was made to exclude from the initial

catalog those services which were offered only to a limited

in-house community of users.

Four recent survey documents were chosen as sources of

service information for the initial catalog:
(1)' "A Study of Six University-^ Based Information

Systems" [1]. Each of the six systems described

in this report access between one and eighteen of

the data bases in the catalog. This report documents an earlier phase of this NBS/NSF effort.

(2) "A Survey of Interactive Information Systems" [2].

Some of the service organizations detailed in this

report offer other services, in addition to interactive retrospective services. Many of them,

however, do not access the major bibliographic data

bases. This report is also part of the NBS/NSF

effort.

(3) "ASIDIC Survey of Information Center Services" [5].

This report lists for all full members and associate

members of the Association of Scientific Information

Dissemination Centers (ASIDIC) as well as for

responders to a questionnaire, the publicly- available

data bases that these organizations process either

for current awareness services, retrospective

services, or both.

(4) "Survey of Commercially Available Computer- Readable

Bibliographic Data Bases" [3]. This document which

is the sole source for the catalog content on data

bases, also contains a limited amount of information

on services.

The information retrieval system chosen for the initial

implementation of the catalog, as well as the record structure

of the information included, are described in the next

section. The catalog content as of November 19 7 3 is listed

in Section 6.

3. THE PROTOTYPE SYSTEM

The selection of an operational information storage and

retrieval system to establish the catalog is based on a

number of factors. Since this work is a continuation of a

study of six university-based information systems [1], the

decision was made to implement the prototype catalog using

one of these six university systems. Among the six, four

have interactive query capability: University of California

at Los Angeles, Lehigh University, Pittsburgh University, and

Stanford University. The Stanford SPIRES system was particularly suitable because it provides not only a generalized

data definition language but also facility for on-line data

definition and text entry. The design philosophy of SPIRES

is especially suited for building and processing of private
files. Therefore, we decided to implement the mechanized

information service catalog on SPIRES.

3.1 SPIRES

SPIRES (Stanford Public Information Retrieval System) is

a generalized interactive information storage and retrieval

system. It is capable of handling both bibliographic data,

and numeric and structured data. SPIRES operates as one of

the interactive systems on the IBM 360/67 computer at the

Stanford Computation Center's Campus facility. SPIRES

allows a user to create, update, maintain, interrogate, and

display stored information. A full detailed description of

the SPIRES system is contained in [11], and a categorical

description of the SPIRES system appeared in [1]. The

following describes our implementation of the catalog using

the SPIRES system.

3.2 Record Structure

The catalog of information services is established under

the SPIRES subfile called "DATA BASES." In this SPIRES subfile, each unit record contains data on a commerciallyavailable bibliographic data base. The unit record has a master portion and additional optionally repeating groups of

structures. These repeating groups may occur from zero to

as many times as needed within a record. The master portion

contains information about each individual data base. The

optionally repeating groups consist of information on

(I) current awareness services, (2) batch retrospective

services, and (3) interactive retrospective services which

can access this data base.

The master portion of the record contains the following

data elements (aliases for the element names are enclosed in

parentheses )

DB - a number automatically assigned by SPIRES as the

key to every record.

NAME (NAMES, NAM) - Name of the data base.

ORIGINATOR (ORI) - The name of the originator, or data

base supplier.

KEYWORDS (KEYWORD, KEY) - List of descriptors describing

the subject matter of the data base.

FIRST-DATE (FIRST, FIR) - The first date of the time

span covered by the data base.

5
LAST-DATE (LAST, LAS) - The last date of the time span

covered by this data base. If this field is blank,

it implies present.

ADDRESS (ADD) - The address of the originator.

PHONE (PHO) - The phone number of the originator.

CONTACT (CON) - The name of the person to contact for

further information.

ABSTRACT (ABS) - A prose description of the subject

matter and scope of this data base.

ELEMENTS (ELEMENT, ELEM, ELE) - The data elements present

in the data base.

FREQUENCY (FRE) - Frequency of issue.

ITEMS (ITEM, ITE) - The average number of source items

included each year.

PURCHASE (PUR) - Purchase information.

LEASE (LEA) - Lease information.

Associated with each master portion of the record

containing the above fields, is the optionally repeating

group describing the search services which can access the

data base. The search services are categorized as (1) current

awareness services, (2) batch retrospective services, and

(3) interactive retrospective services. The record structures

for the search services are identical in form, and are distinguished from each other only by the structure name (e.g.,

"CA;" "BR;" or "IR;") preceding the structure. Each structure

has the following elements:

SERVICE-NAME (SER) - The name of the search service.

SOFTWARE (SOF) - The name of the software system

providing the search service for the data base.

ORIGINATOR (ORI) - The name of the originator for the

search service.

ADDRESS (ADD) - The address of the originator for the

search service.

PHONE (PHO) - The phone number of the originator for

the search service.
CONTACT (CON) - The name of the person to contact for

information about the search service.

ABSTRACT (ABS) - A prose description of the search

service and cost information.

There are only four required fields for each record:

NAME, ORIGINATOR, KEYWORDS, and FIRST-DATE. All others are

optional. Seven fields are currently searchable: NAME,

ORIGINATOR, KEYWORDS, SERVICES, SOFTWARE, FIRST-DATE and

LAST-DATE. The search terms "ORIGINATOR," "SERVICE" and

"SOFTWARE" are combined by SPIRES into one index for searching.

-

4. USE OF THE CATALOG

This section details the procedure for using the catalog

of data bases and associated information services as established on the SPIRES system.

4.1 Terminal Equipment

Access to SPIRES from outside of the Stanford campus

area is through the Federal Telecommunications System (FTS)

or the public telephone system. SPIRES supports any IBM

2741 compatible terminals or any ASCII (American Standard

Code for Information Interchange) compatible terminals. The

cathode ray display type devices with keyboard entry are also

supported by SPIRES. The following describes the terminal

equipment configuration:

Model IBM 2741 Compatible

ASCII Compatible

TTY (or CRT)

Speed 14.7 char/sec 10 char/sec

Code Correspondence ASCII

Modem Bell System 103

Compatible

Bell System 103

Compatible

Mode Half/Full Duplex Half duplex

SPIRES will accept both upper and lower case or just

upper case.
4.2 Log-on and Log-off Procedures

After setting up the terminal equipment with the proper

configuration, the user is ready to dial into the Stanford

Computer Center. (Different numbers are used for the two

acceptable types of terminals.) When communications have

been established, the Stanford computer acknowledges with

date and time information. The system then asks for Name,

Account, Keyword, Terminal, and Command as illustrated below:

STANFORD 6 9 11/2 3/73 11:10:31

NAME? fong

ACCOUNT?

KEYWORD?

(TERMINAL? p9 3

COMMAND ? spires

-WELCOME TO SPIRES-2, FONG

After the interactive session, the user must log-off by

first issuing a command "EXIT" to exit from SPIRES, and then

the command "LOGOFF." The system will furnish time usage

information as shown:

-? exit

-RETURN TO WYLBUR.

COMMAND ? logoff

11:59:27 10/25/73

ELAPSED TIME = 00:02:43

WYLBUR CPU TIME =0.01 SECONDS.

ORVYL CPU TIME =0.83 SECONDS.

END OF SESSION

4.3 Illustrative Seal :hes

The SPIRES system awaits the user's request from the

terminal by a prompt character "-?". To access the mechanized

information services catalog, the user first issues a SPIRES

command

-? SELECT DATA BASES

_?

At this' point, the user may enter any valid SPIRES commands

and interact with thf DATA BASES subfile. The full set of

commands appears in reference [12] and only selected commands

are presented here.
Tne '"FIND" command serves essentially for interrogation,

causing the system to gather a list of records that conform

to the criteria stated as part of the command. Any combination of logical operators can be applied in the process of

searching to make a result either more precise or more

general.

The "TYPE" command causes the search results to be

printed at the user's terminal. The elements displayed in

each record will be either a'll the elements occurring in the

record, or specified elements only.

Five sample queries are now presented to illustrate the

various searching capabilities available on SPIRES.

Example 1

The user queries the system with a data base name (e.g.,

"Psychological Abstracts"). The system responded with a

result of one data base. The user then asks to see all the

information about the data base and the various kinds of

search services which can access that data base. In this

example, the master portion of the record plus two interactive

retrieval services that access the Psychological Abstracts

data base are shown on page 10.

Example 2

Keywords with logical connectives can be used to form

queries. For example', the keywords "CHEMISTRY AND PATENTS"

result in five data bases. The user then asks to see the

data fields or on dates to limit the search result. For

instance, the user asks for all the data bases that contain

the keyword "MEDICINE," but only those data bases that

covered the time span "AFTER 1970." The system finds two

such data bases that meet the above criteria. The user asks

for the name and the first-date to be displayed:

U.4 Tutorial Features

SPIRES provides many tutorial features to instruct the

user on-line. The command "HELP" may be issued at any time, and will produce different instructions depending on whether:

. the user has not selected a subfile;

. the user has selected a subfile, but has not done

anything else;

. the user has a search result;

. the user has an update in progress.

The command "EXPLAIN" is available depending on the needs

of the user. "EXPLAIN EVERYTHING" will cause the system to

print out a list of "EXPLAIN" commands.

If the user is unacquainted with the subfile, the user may order the system to describe briefly the contents of the subfile. The command that will explain the subfile DATA BASES is:

12
-? EXPLAIN SUBFILE DATA BASES

A paragraph describing the subfile will be typed out at the

user's terminal as follows:

select data bases

-? explain subfile data bases

The Data Bases subfile contains infornation on commerciallyavailable, machine readable, bibliographic data bases, and the

information services which can access these data bases. The subfile

is structured with the data bases as the unit records, and includes,

for each data base, information on names, address, phone, contact,-

originating organization, dates, elements, frequency of issu^, keywords,

abstracts, and purcnase and lease costs. In addition, information on

1) current awareness services; 2) batch retrospective services; and

3) interactive retrospective services which can access these data

bases are posted to the unit records. Information on the three types

of services include service name, organization, software, address,

phone, contact, and abstract. Only a limited number of these data

elements is currently searchable.

This data base is being created under an interagency agreement

between the Institute for Computer Sciences and Technology of the

National Bureau of Standards and the National Science Foundation Office

of Science Information Service. Please contact Bea Marron at MBS, Wash.

D. C. 20234, (301) 921-34C5, for further information about the use of

this file.

Before the user issues a "FIND" command, he should check

the search terms available to him for searching. He can do so

by submitting the request

-? SHOW SEARCH TERMS

The data record name, labeled "goal record" plus all the

indexed terms will be printed as shown:

show search terms

Goal Records: DATA-BASE

Simple Index: NAM, NAME, NAMES

Simple Index: ORI, ORIGINATOR

Simple Index: KEY, KEYWORD, KEYWORDS

Simple Index: FER, SERVICE

Simple Index: SOF, SOFTWARE

Combined Index Terms

FIRST-DATE

LAST-DATE

If the user is confused about the contents of a

particular subfile, even after examining the list of search

terms, he can use the "BROWSE" command. For the subfile DATA

13
BASES, the user can "BROWSE NAMES" or "BROWSE KEYWORDS." A

letter or the word "FIRST" or "LAST" may be qualified to indicate where one wants to begin browsing. SPIRES types out up

to 10 lines and asks the user whether he wants to see more.

Note that the "BROWSE NAME" command produces just a few of the

names. To see names stored between the displayed values, one

can issue a qualified "BROWSE" command. Examples of "BROWSE

NAME" and "BROWSE NAME A" are shown below:

5. FUTURE PLANS

Plans for the catalog can be grouped into the following

categories

. Improve the current implementation of the catalog.

. Extend coverage.

. Assess usefulness of the catalog.

. Implement on other systems.

. Define maintenance and improvement mechanisms.

. Establish distribution channels.

The initial implementation of the catalog was, by design,

a demonstration of the feasibility and usefulness of the

catalog rather than a full exercise of the capabilities of

the chosen interactive retrieval system. For this reason,

although some deficiencies of our initial file definition

in SPIRES were recognized early, we did not enter into a file redefinition phase. For example, it seemed to be a

good idea to make all SERVICE-NAMES, regardless of type of

service, searchable in a common index. The advantage we

sought was that the user would not have to know service type

in order to query on SERVICE-NAME. However, this resulted in

multiple printings of those services which offer more than

one type of service on a data base. Study of the file

redefinition capabilities of SPIRES, and analysis of deficiencies in the existing file should be part of the next

phase of this effort.

The coverage of the information included in the catalog

could be extended in three directions

1. The records in the present catalog could be expanded

to include more details on cost, turn-around times,

system protocols , etc.

2. Major non-bibliographic data files, such as census

tapes, stock market tapes, and scientific tapes, as well as personal bibliographic or data files could

be included.

3. Information services could be expanded to include

in-house services.

We have had a number of inquiries on the use of the

catalog, but have considered it premature to permit outside

15
use until there is a significant amount of information in the

file. The one exception is the Stanford Library which has

been authorized to access the catalog via SPIRES. However,

we need to test the usefulness of the catalog to others.

While interactive query is a powerful tool, it need not be

the only means of access to the information in the catalog.

The catalog might, for example, be a useful reference in

hard-copy with a variety of indexes.

Two of the tangible products of this NBS/NSF effort are

machine-readable copies of the catalog on punched cards and

on magnetic tape. This will facilitate installation of this

data base on other information systems, perhaps those

included in the catalog.

The potential usefulness of this catalog will be very

dependent on its currency. Alternative procedures and

reporting mechanisms for maintaining the timeliness of the

catalog must be studied further. Perhaps a federal library

or clearing-house, should be assigned the maintenance function,

Perhaps a professional society would be a more appropriate

organization for this role. The various options must be

identified and analyzed for their relative feasibility and

effectiveness

Finally, if this catalog is to be useful, appropriate

distribution arrangements must be investigated to provide

maximum utility to scientists and decision makers.

6. THE CATALOG

This section contains the contents of the mechanized

catalog as of November 19 73. This listing is organized in

three parts

6.1 The basic data on each data base.

6.2 The information service entries.

6.3 A cross-index of data base names with associated

search services.

Note that the implementation of this catalog on SPIRES

interrelates these parts automatically.

16. ABSTRACT (A 200-word or less factual summary of most significant information. If document includes a significant

bibliography or literature survey, mention it here.) NBS is mechanizing a catalog of currently available information

sources and services. Information from recent surveys of machinereadable, commercially-available bibliographic data bases, and the

various current awareness, batch retrospective, and interactive

retrospective services which can access them, has been correlated and

converted into a machine-readable data base. A prototype searching

capability has been established on an operational interactive retrieval

system. Reasons for establishing the catalog and the choice of the

initial information are detailed and the prototype implementation is

described. Sample queries are included, as well as a to-date listing

of the catalog. Plans for future development are discussed.
