Abstract:

This project has the purpose of developing an innovative data structure that has
the ability to capture, store, and retrieve information based on it semantic content.
This should be possible through the use of a newly developed technique called "Xy-imaging".
Based on mathematical transforms, this technique captures the content of information
items in a multi-dimensional, phase-space image. In contrast, existing data structures
allow only for the storage and retrieval of data based on the address of the data.
The innovation considered in this project allows users to store information by providing
data in any format and retrieving it in the same fashion, that is, without knowing
the address of the data. With such a capability as this, textual and graphical data
can be stored and manipulated from individual systems or a broad network of data
bases and computers into meaningful information units. In addition, by its nature,
this technique can provide an extremely user-friendly and intuitive man-machine interface.

Potential Commercial Application:

Potential Commercial Applications:  This project could lead to a new class of software
products for addressing multimedia information based on semantic meaning rather than
a string of characters.
