Abstract :
An online bibliographic retrieval system, called the literature reference (Litref) system, is presented. It is designed to run on a high-end microcomputer to support the stroke consultant system (Maiestro). Litref interprets a Boolean command language derived from knowledge-index to provide fast, efficient browsing of abstracts from the stroke literature. User feedback on keywords derived from a relational thesaurus is used to enhance the original query. The system is designed to work in a microcomputer environment. Features and goals, design principles, and system architecture are discussed
