BIBLIOGRAPHIC DATABASE (U)
INTIIIAL REPORT
1:. (U) PURPOSE:
(U) The purpose of this document is to provide an initial report on
the status of the psychoenergetic bibliographic database as of 16
November-, 1990.
I1:. (S/NF) PROGRAMMING STATUS: The programming for the bibliographic
database is complete through the first stage:
a. The "shell" programming was completed on 5 NOV 90. This
"shell" is only a translator, converting simple user requests into the
complex DBase III+ language. It allows the bibliographic database to be
used by anyone, whether or not they know all the hundreds of various
commands required by DBase III+. It does not input or retrieve data, but
does act as a "controller" for the programs which do (see below).
b. The "data input" programming, which allows input of
bibliographic data, was completed and tied into the "shell" programming
on 7 NOV 90.
c. By 9 NOV 90, more than 200 bibliographic references were
entered into the database, to give an initial foundation, as well as to
act as a test base for the programming.

 Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R002900060001-4
d. The "data retrieval" programming, which allows retrieval of
bibliographic references was completed on 9 NOV 90. Testing of this
program was completely on 13 NOV 90, and the program was tied into the
"shell" on 14 NOV 90.
e. At the present time, retrieval of references can be
accomplished by requesting (in part or in whole):
1) Part or all of the author's name(s).
2) Fart or all of the title.
Part or all of the Publisher's name.
4) Date of publication.
Whether or not the written work is in our library.
III. (SINF) FUTURE PROGRAMMING SCHEDULE: The second stage of
programming will enhance the database capabilities.
a. Second stage programming: Sufficient "tie-in points" were
provided in the initial programming to allow an additional capability
which will require future (2nd stage) programming. This future
capability, which should be completed by 15 DEC 90, will allow a user to
request bibliographic information by subject matter (i.e. "hypnotism",
"research", etc.). In order to accomplish this,
1. A final decision must be made concerning which subjects
will be included in our database.
2. Additional programming must be written, tested, and tied

 Approved For Release 2000/08/08 CIA-RDP96-00789R002900060001-4
in to the "shell" program.
All records entered into the database at the time of tie-
in must be changed and updated according to the subject matter covered by
each bibliographic: entry.
b. Third and final stage programmi nn : Programming will eventually
provide alternate methodologies for data retrieval.
1. The present method of data retrieval allows a user to
enter known information into a blank: (for example "Rhine" into the author
field and "Psy" into the title field). The program will retrieve, in
this case, all bibliographic references which have J.B. Rhine as an
author or co-author, and the letters "Psy..." in the title.
2. In the final stage of programming, a "retrieval by index"
capability will be provided, where the user can cursor down through an
index of subject topics. When the cursor is on the desired line of the
index, a button can be pressed, and the programming will retrieve all
references dealing with that subject matter.
3. This is an entirely new concept in database retrieval and
no known programming presently exists to allow for this capability.
Therefore, all programming in this area must be original, and must be
thoroughly tested before implementation on a back-up database for initial
user-testing. Once completed, it should provide the user with a method
of database retrieval which is far advanced over present methods.
4. Time requirements for final implementation on the database
