any correlations or expansions. A7 is needed for correlations or expansions,
or for syntactic processing. A8 is needed only for concept-concept or
hierarchical expansions. Bi is needed for expansions and for syntactic
processing. B2 is needed for correlations, syntactic processing, and
expansions. B6 is needed for correlations, phrase lookup, and expansions.
If a tape is not needed by the specified process, it need not be mounted.
2.3. Input Deck Setup
Since the SM[OCRerr]RT system runs under a normal [OCRerr]RTRAN 11 monitor system
([OCRerr]), the usual deck setup is employed. The job card (system accounting
data) appears first; then come operator messages and monitor control cards.
The program, consisting usually of a short routine which merely calls in
the main programs from the program tape, follows. After this short
loading deck (labeled [OCRerr]cHN) comes the monitor * DA[OCRerr] card. The data
which follow consist of the instruction cards and the data for the proces-
sing runs. The instructions are on [OCRerr]. The data, which usually consist
of requests, texts, and relevance jud[OCRerr]ents, follow and na:y be on either
[OCRerr] or [OCRerr]. Several processing runs may be stacked in the same [OCRerr]af'[OCRerr] job,
as explained in the next section. Alternatively, each processing run
may be made a separate [OCRerr] job. This is often preferable if new tapes
must be mounted, since the SM&RT system makes no provisions for pausing
to allow the operators sufficient time to change the tapes.
3. Specifications for the SM[OCRerr]RT Retrieval System
The first date required by the S[OCRerr]T programs are the specifications
which direct the processing to be performed during the c[OCRerr]uter run. These
specifications must i[OCRerr]ediately follow the monitor * DATA card.
