ADAPT I Final Functional and System Design Specification.

Under the ADAPT project, a prototype intelligent terminal will be developed which provides users and/or other systems a uniform interface for accessing multiple online databases located on different systems. The underlying technology applied by ADAPT will be the transformation from one uniform data language, UDL, to other target query languages which reside on a network. The four database systems/query languages will be transformed to are the SIGINT On-Line Information System (SOLIS), Defense Intelligence Agency On-Line System (DIAOLS)/Intelligence Support System (ISS), Data Base Management System 1100 (DMS-1100)/Query Language Processor (QLP), and Technical Information Processing Systems (TIPS)/TIPS Interrogation Language (TILE). The ADAPT system is comprised of 23 distinct UNIX processes.
