GIM-1, a generalized information management language and computer system
Donald B. Nelson, Richard A. Pick, Kenton B. Andrews · 1967
The current demand for more comprehensive information systems had created an increasing need for generalized information management. Generalized information management denotes a complex of interrelated information capabilities encompassing both human functions and the operation of automatic devices which supplement and extend human capabilities. The methodology and techniques for such generalized information control have been defined and are exemplified in GIM-1, a generalized information management language and computer system now being implemented at TRW Systems. With the use of GIM-1, the problems inherent in defining more comprehensive information systems can be completely and economically resolved.
