MECHANIZED METHODS OF DOCUMENTATION OF INTEREST TO CRIMINOLOGISTS Available to Purchase

In this paper the main emphasis will be upon mechanized methods of documentation which work with a natural language input. These are systems in which the basic sources are read in to the machines in their pristine form, unindexed, unclassified and unabridged. The paper will first set out to correct some current misconceptions about mechanical methods. It will then consider the tasks which a modern digital computer can perform, and each will be examined in the context of documentation.
