Import format file

Import format files describe the format of data files to be imported to Calm.


Indexing

The positions of most terms in databases are automatically added to the index. Indexed terms can be found quickly, as DScribe does not need to search the database, but merely consults the index. Stopwords are not included in the index.


Inflected or tagged data file

A text file where each field is prefixed by a unique identifying tag.


Insertion point

In fields, a vertical bar called the insertion point shows where the next character typed at the keyboard will be inserted.
