Abstract

The implementation of the man-machine interface for question-answering systems, fact-retrieval systems and others in the area of information management frequently involves a concern with non-numeric programming techniques. In addition, theorem proving algorithms and more sophisticated procedures for processing natural language text require a capability to manipulate representations of non-numeric data with some ease, and to pose complex structural questions about such data.
