Abstract

The conventional concept of file is reexamined, and found to be unsatisfactory, both as a linguistic concept in a programming language and as a tool for data processing. A new file concept is proposed which unlike the conventional file attempts to simulate an intelligent archivist rather than a filing cabinet.
