               COMPUTER SCIENCE COLLOQUIUM - Wednesday, June 9, 1982.

               Prof. Frank W. Tompa of this department will speak on "Ac-
               cess Paths for Videotex Data".

               ABSTRACT

               Most of today's videotex systems, including  most  Telidon
               database  servers,  are based on a tree structure of pages
               over which is placed a limited menu facility.  Such an or-
               ganisation  is  too  restrictive for convenient, efficient
               access.

               The concept of a menu will be examined,  and  options  for
               menu  design will be categorised.  Where possible, various
               option choices will be illustrated  using  the  UW/Telidon
               database  server.  Thereafter the roles of keywords, form-
               filling, and alternative data types in  videotex  will  be
               briefly examined.
