Tree driven data input and its validation
Department of Civil Engineering, University of Nottingham, University Park, Nottingham, UK
A generalised technique for the input of forms into a computer system, and its implementation in ALGOL is described. The format for any section of a form is parameterised. Each type of form has an associated input format tree which holds the various sets of section parameters. This input format tree is used to decode the data belonging form into a data tree.
