EXPLANATION AND ILLUSTRATION OF THE FORMAT FOR PRESENTING INFORMATION ON A DOCUMENT IN A COMPUTER-BASED CRIMINAL JUSTICE INFORMATION STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL SYSTEM.
Abstract
INFORMATION AVAILABLE ON MICROFILMED COMPUTER PRINTOUTS TO USERS OF THE SYSTEM INCLUDES BIBLIOGRAPHICAL DATA, A BRIEF ABSTRACT, AND A LIST OF DESCRIPTIVE TERMS WHICH ARE ASSIGNED TO THE DOCUMENT AS THE BASIS OF ITS RETRIEVAL. IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE THE NUMBER AND ACCURACY OF ENTRIES, AUTHORS ARE REQUESTED TO SUPPLY ABSTRACTS AND DESCRIPTIVE TERMS WHEN THE DOCUMENTS ARE PUT INTO THE SYSTEM. THE FEDERAL CRIMINAL POLICE OFFICE COMPILES AND SUPPLIES TO USERS AN ALPHABETICALLY ARRANGED THESAURUS OF ALL DESCRIPTIVE TERMS USED, INCLUDING SYNONYMS AND RELATED TERMS FOR EACH ENTRY. THE ARTICLE EXPLAINS ABBREVIATIONS USED IN PRESENTING BIBLIOGRAPHICAL DATA, AND GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR THE SELECTION OF DESCRIPTIVE TERMS AND COMPOSITION OF ABSTRACTS. ALSO PROVIDED ARE ILLUSTRATIONS OF COMPUTER PRINTOUTS OF INFORMATION ON A DOCUMENT FOUND IN THE SAME ISSUE OF THE JOURNAL IN WHICH THIS ARTICLE APPEARS. --IN GERMAN
