Abstract

A transportable system for the analysis of large sets of data, forming complex information structures, is being developed at the Swedish National Defense Research Institute, with financial support also from some civilian Swedish government agencies. The system is based on a relational data base handler of new design, permitting efficient data storage and fast evaluation of complex, spontaneous queries. A query language, based on set algebra and oriented towards scientist users, was developed for the system. To this kernel will be added subsystems for interactive sublanguage definition and user communication, data loading, tabular and graphic data presentation, statistical analyses, and data base backup and recovery. The paper presents an overview of the system version now completed.
