Sleeping Beauty: MERLIN, a state of the art report

Abstract

MERLIN was conceived in 1975 and put to sleep in 1979. It was archived in August 1979 when British Library suspended development. This paper presents a state of the art report of the archived version of MERLIN together with an account of the work that had not been completed. The functions that the archived MERLIN will support are described and the additional functions planned are outlined. Timescales are produced for completing the outstanding work and for subsequent possible implementation.
