Using Bitmaps for Medium Sized Information Retrieval Systems.
Bookstein, A.; Klein, S. T.
Information Processing and Management, v26 n4 p525-33 1990
Describes the theoretical framework of a retrieval system that uses data structures called bitmaps to improve search algorithms for medium-sized systems. Information retrieval systems that contain the full text of the documents are discussed, and the use of inverted files such as concordances for small texts is explained. (24 references) (LRW)
