ISR11 Operating Instructions for the SMART Text Processing and Document Retrieval System chapter M. E. Lesk Harvard University Gerard Salton Use, reproduction, or publication, in whole or in part, is permitted for any purpose of the United States Government. 11-4 1.2. Operating Programs The programs available fall into three categories: a) Retrieval system programs consisting of a large, connected set of programs which perform all the steps described in part 1.1. These programs use a set of dictionaries to operate on a collection of [OCRerr]nglish text, and produce answers to requests, and evaluations of processing methods. b) Dictionary preparation programs consisting of a smaller, but also connected set of programs [OCRerr]ich prepare the various tapes required by the program (a). c) Miscellaneous programs to perform various useful functions OUt side the main system. A description of the instructions for running programs (a) is given in parts 2, 3, and 4 of these instructions. Programs (b) can be run using the instructions in part 5, and programs (c) are discussed in part 6. 2. Basic Operating Procedures SM[OCRerr]T operates under a normal FORTRAN II monitor system. As already mentioned, the programs require a set of instructions, a library tape, and a set of data. The usual procedure is to supply the programs on one tape, the library on a second tape, and the data on another private tape and/or on the monitor input tape. In addition, up to seven scratch tapes may be needed. Any data for the monitor input tape follows the run specifications. 2.1. Run Outline A complete processing run proceeds as follows: a) [OCRerr]nitor control cards are supplied to sign on to the computer,
