The Intelligent Gateway Computer: Effective access to distributed information resources
The Intelligent Gateway Computer, developed by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's Technology Information System, provides ready access to geographically distributed and physically unlike computer-based information resources. Through the Gateway, a user can utilize the variety of resources - such as Lockheed Dialog, ESA-IRS, DARC, and others - without having to learn different access methods and log-ons, and communication protocols. From a single entry point, that subset of textual, numeric, and graphics systems which best meet his needs can be targeted by the Gateway. Retrieval results can be downloaded to a local file and analyzed and reformatted using a number of bibliographic post-processing, mathematical, and statistical routines. For a field such as agriculture, with its wide breadth of subject disciplines and dependence on numerous, disparate information sources, use of a Gateway can greatly facilitate research.
