Relevant has been used throughout this chapter to imply the general pertinence or applicability of information. Relevance, however, is only one of several variables that establish the utility or usefulness of information. The validity of the information retrieved and the work necessary to access the information also determine the usefulness of information [109]. Slawson et al. [110], interpreting work by Curley et al. [108], conceptually represented these variables in the following equation [111,112] ... 

The nature and scope of these technical applications of DBMS covers a wide range. This paper will attempt to give an overview of several applications in the areas of technical administration, information retrieval, laboratory, and personal data bases. The intent is not to provide technical detail about any particular application, but to provide a base of ideas which may benefit other researchers in their information handling applications.

A U.S. provisional patent application is not published or becomes publicly available until a regularly filed application that claims priority to it is published. At the time the regular application is pubhshed, the file history then becomes available to the public, including any provisional applications from which the regular application claims priority. Electronic file histories for recent U.S. patent applications are available for free at the USPTO s website under the Patent Application Information Retrieval (PAIR) menu.

Until recently the application of computers in chemistry was restricted to two fields. First, there were numerical calculations as for the analysis of experimental data and in quantum mechanical computations, and second, computers were used for documentation and information retrieval. 

Reaction Retrieval Systems - A classical application of computers in chemistry is information retrieval, and chemical reactions are amenable to this type of treatment.34 when a strategic plan for synthesis has been established, there is still a need for detailed consideration of reagents and reaction conditions - and a Theilheimer type system may be best for this purpose. Such a file of reactions is typically searched by type of starting material, type of product, type of reaction, or conditions. Such a system usually contains very specific reactions of...

To promote technology transfer within the nation s industrial complex, NASA operates a network of Industrial Applications Centers (lACs), whose job it is to provide information retrieval services and technical assistance to industrial clients. The network s principal resource is a vast storehouse of accumulated technical knowledge, computerized for ready retrieval.
