3 3. An Efficient Design for Chemical Structure Searching. II. The File Organization. Louis Hodes (National Institute of Health, Bethesda, Maryland) J. of Chem. Inf. and Comput. Sci., 1978, Vol. 18, No. 2, pp. 96100, 5 fig., Bibl. (8 ref.). A novel file organization design for substructure search, based on hash coding is described. This organization permits search of only a portion of the file, the portion decreasing with increasing query specificity. The same organization is practical for full structure search, which is routinely used in searching for duplicates when updating the file. Statistics on a sample file of about 20,000 compounds are presented as well as its performance on typical queries. 34. Citation Codes in Classification and Terminology. Proposal for an International Standard. Ingetraut Dahlberg, UniversitHt Maim. International Classification, 1978, Volume 5, No. 2, pp. 91-92. To facilitate and unify the citation of and reference to classification systems, thesauri and dictionaries a standard form of codes for their publications seem to be of great help. Such citation codes are necessary in the application of references to those systems in information networks, information systems and services, in all sorts of reference works and other literature and in processing of bibliographic as well as concept data in a formatted way. The proposal contains rules for the formation of such codes in a very simple and memonic way. Their possible extension to include information on special editons, on editions in different languages and on numbers of editions is also considered. Comments are invited before an authority file according to these rules may be established.
Users of patent information 35. Importance of Patents and Information Services to Research Workers. Walker H. Bowman (Amoco Chemicals Corporation, Chicago, l;linois). J. of Chem. Inf. and Comput. Sci., 1978, Vol. 18, No. 2, pp. 81-82. There are three areas in which the patent literature impacts upon R & D activities; it can be a very fruitful source of information regarding the economic and technical potential of existing or near future art; it can be a teacher of the art involved in practicing in a field; and, to some extent, it can act as a guide to application areas for marketing activities. 52
36. Dissemination of patent knowledge at a research library. D. M. Tyukerblat (Novosibirsk). Patent information, support of R & D., 1977, pp. 149-164, Bibl. (8 ref.). The tasks in the promotion of patent information are discussed with special reference to the experience of Novosibirsk libraries concerned with acquisition, processing, searching, and dissemination of patent information. The users of this information are divided into two groups: (i) patent experts qualified to use patent information in their work and (ii) designers of new technology who need guidance in the use of patent collections and information.
Users’ needs 37. Patent Information Needs from a Marketing Manager’s Point of View. Newman H. Giragosian (Delphi Marketing Services, Inc., New York). J. Chem. Inf. Comput. Sci., 1978,Vol. 18, No. 3,pp. 121-122. The importance of patents to the marketing function in an industrial environment is discussed briefly from eighr viewpoints. 38. Patent Information Activity of the Technical Information Retrieval Committee of the Manufacturing CheFists’ Association. Patrick T. O’Leary (Gulf Oil Corporation, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania). J. of Chem. Inf. and Comput. Sci., 1978, Vol. 18, No. 2, pp. 63-65. An ad hoc committee of the MCA, formed in 1971 to make a comprehensive survey of the needs of the chemical industry in patent information retrieval services, included among its recommendations a standing committee of the MCA on patent information retrieval. The Technical Infdrmation Retrieval Committee of the MCA was started in 1972 with representatives from 35 member companies. Subcommittees of the TIRC were appointed and serve as contacts mfith organization providing information services in the patent and technical literature fields of interest to the chemical industry. These subcommittees’ activities include consultation. as requested; suggestions for new products and recommendations on proposed products; surveys within the industry to aid in planning new patent services; analysis of the quality of the services; and seminars for users to aid in their understanding and use of the services. The work of the TIRC has been helpful to the chemical industry in obtaining needed information services and improvements of existing services and in informing marketers of patent information of the needs of the industry.
