- InnerView Retrieval for Windows 3.0
-
-
- InnerView is an information storage and retrieval system designed for
- very large, full-text databases that may contain associated images. It
- offers sophisticated data access methods which help you find the specific
- information you need. InnerView Database Preparation Software and
- InnerView Retrieval Software provide the ability to index and access text
- and associated images using a microcomputer.
-
- For the database researcher, InnerView combines the familiar aspects of
- researching using printed material with the speed and flexibility of
- microcomputers. It is an easy-to-learn, efficient system that helps
- inexperienced users quickly conduct extensive research on an electronic
- database. It also provides the features that an experienced computer
- researcher expects from an advanced retrieval product.
-
- InnerView is ideally suited for retrieval of technical documentation and
- other reference material. This version of InnerView operates in the
- Microsoft Window environment. Versions are also avialable for the
- Macintosh and CTOS operating systems.
-
- This demonstration of InnerView Retrieval Software will take you
- into the FIRMR database and let you perform any browsing or
- searching activities you wish.
-
-
- Browsing
-
- Begin the demonstration by choosing the different menu items at the
- top of the screen to see what is available to you. The Browse menu
- gives you access to the table of contents and the browse pointer
- lists. These can give you direct entry to any point of the
- database. Browsing features are used by people who know where they
- want to go in the database and how to get there, but do not know
- the exact words of the data.
-
- Searching
-
- Search features are used by those who know the words they are
- looking for, but do not know where to find them. The search menu
- gives you access to the search expression screen where a user can
- type in a word or phrase to be searched. There are also search
- assist menus available here if the user wishes to fine-tune the
- search. The user may also select information from the actual text
- of the database, and then select "Direct Search" under the search
- menu. InnerView will automatically place the word or phrase into
- the search expression screen.
-
- Other features
-
- InnerView 2.1 provides a wealth of features for the information
- researcher. In addition to the searching and browsing activities,
- the user can view and manipulate images, create public or private
- annotations (Assist Menu), change the colors on the screen (Assist
- Menu), and keep track of all activities through the use of the
- audit trail. The user can also copy portions of the text to the
- printer or to a file for use later with a word-processing package.
-
- InnerView also allows the user to make incremental updates to the
- text or image information by inserting, deleting, replacing or
- supplementing information. Using the download database capability,
- a subset of the entire database may be downloaded and indexed
- separately to be investigated independently from the rest of the
- data.
