Abstract
Recent research has sought to build document-retrieval systems on top of database management systems (DBMS) in order to increase the power of document retrieval. While the use of DBMS allows a more flexible approach to designing search strategies, the underlying representation of the information is inflexible and does not correspond to either the structure or the meaning of real-world objects. This limitation can be overcome through the use of conceptual modeling techniques. The array model presented here is based on these techniques and has been designed specifically for application in document retrieval. © 1987 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
