The combination of the Content Addressable File Store (CAFS@; CAFS is a registered trademark of International Computers Limited) and an extension of relational analysis is described. This combination allows a simple and compact implementation of a database query and update language (FIDL). The language has one of the important properties of a "natural" language interface by using a "world model" derived from the relational analysis. The interpreter (FLIN) takes full advantage of the CAFS by employing a unique database storage technique which results in a fast response to both queries and updates.

“…Indeed, the ideal or fantasy of MCC via 'natural' language has provoked discussion from the early days of electronic computers, if not earlier. In a survey of attempts up to 1975 to develop natural language systems, Addis (1977) shows that the same basic processes are involved in all studies and considers that in due course a universal 'natural language' processing system could be developed.…”

Languages are probably the most flexible tools that humans have evolved. Dialogue is the interactive usage of a mutually agreed language between the communicators to exchange information. However there are many problems and even barriers to successful human communication, and still more for man-eomputer dialogue.In the past computer ergonomics had tended to concentrate more upon hardware and environment issues, but in the last 3 to 5 years there has been growing attention to the software,organizational and cognitiveaspects. Some of the relevant studies will be mentioned to illustrate the nature and flexibility of human conversation, the types of contribution available from compuler ergonomics, and the prospect towards guidelines for dialogue design.
