Abstract

This paper describes the design of a distributed information system for full text retrieval. The system is similar in functionality to STAIRS and is being developed on a network of PC's interconnected by PC Network. The implementation is built on a generalisation of the remote procedure call concept. Communications are based upon the recent CCITT X.400 standard. Examples are given of the design strategy for a subset of the STAIRS system.

In this paper, we present an approach to the incorporation of object versioning into a distributed full-text information retrieval system. We propose an implementation based on “partially versioned” index sets, arguing that its space overhead and query-...
