American Documentation, 1969, vol. 20, issue 4, 381-384

Abstract: This paper presents a new generalized model for information transfer that has at its heart a machinereadable record. The model points out how the core machine‐readable record makes possible interfacing computer typesetting with advanced information technology, the interfacing of primary with secondary publications, and the interfacing of data with document information systems. The model also illustrates how modular information transfer systems can be incrementally enlarged. IMPRINT (IMbricated PRogram for INformation Transfer) is one system based on this modular imbricated (overlapping) model. Some of the modules in IMPRINT, which have been developed by Cognitive Systems Incorporated, are described.
