%T Automation on Parnassus: Clio - a databank oriented system for historians %A Thaller, Manfred %J Historical Social Research %N 3 %P 40-65 %V 5 %D 1980 %@ 0172-6404 %= 2009-02-25T17:06:00Z %~ GESIS %> https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:0168-ssoar-52426 %X 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. %C DEU %G en %9 journal article %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
