To support several ongoing research projects, the development of
a general purpose system was started 18 months ago at the Max-Planck-Institut fur Geschichte in Gottingen. A second version of
this system has already been implemented - one which offers the
user a simple control language Its most important features are:
a flexible input system combining free field and tag/ content
representation of data that can be structured in very complex
hierarchies; a retrieval system; a system for the interactive coding of historical sources.
Various ways of entering codebook like "thesauri" provide a
cheap way to recode as often as necessary material of doubtful
semantics; a system for nominative record linkage. Name comparisons by two
classes of algorithms are supported. The entry of new algorithms
to suit the dialects of a particular area is facilitated by a
simple set of algorithm defining directives.... view less
