American Data Processing, Inc. - Publisher of Data Resources since 1960
Prior to incorporation as American Data Processing, Inc. we published The Punch Card Annual – 1959.
American Data Processing, Inc. went on to publish a wide range of types of publications on Computers, Data Processing & Automated Education including: magazines. newsletters, periodicals, books, digests, yearbooks, handbooks, guides, encyclopedias, bibliographies, directories, and websites.
This wide range of publishing experience by American Data Processing. Inc. and its affiliate companies has led to an extensive range of products, each requiring specific knowledge and unique expertise.
ADP Publishing Experience:
-
Publishing resources on Computers, Data Processing, Automated Education and now AI has given us an in-depth understanding of technical advances and a long-time view of its progress.
-
We gained valuable experience in reprinting over 5,000 previously published books using different printing methods, from offset printing to electrostatic printing to xerography and finally scanning and digitizing.
-
Publishing encyclopedias and dictionaries has given us insight on how to condense information into concise knowledge.
-
Creating general bibliographies of the best 80,000 books and 250,000 books allowed us to develop proprietary software and practical solutions unique to solving bibliographic challenges.
Team experience working with People, Companies, and Institutions.
-
Working with editors from some of the Leading Reference Publishers (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Gale Research Co., RR Bowker) offered the opportunity to gain broad and in-depth understanding of their editorial processes.
-
Visiting and meeting with staff from the Library of Congress Main Library, the Bibliographic Division, and the Copyright Office, supplied practical experience into LC resources.
-
Traveling to hundreds of universities, specialized, college, and public libraries, and working with librarians gave our team practical experience in the application of knowledge.
-
Receiving subject guidance from hundreds of professors, authors, scholars, and experts helped us create a systematic path for understanding knowledge.
American Data Processing, Inc. and its affiliate companies have stood the test of time and adversity to be uniquely positioned to lead in the use of a Large Language Model platform and related Artificial Intelligence processes to publish the first Large Knowledge Model.
Most ideas do not come out of nowhere - they are published in books, and subsequent generations build upon them. Many authors record the past, interpret the present, and offer insights into the future.
American Data Processing, Inc. published such an insight almost 70 years ago in the following book:
On-Line Computing Systems edited by Eric Burges
Chapter 1 – The Future of Online Systems by Ivan Sutherland
Chapter Summary:
In 1965 Dr. Ivan Sutherland offered analysts of the state of the art of “online systems” and insights into the future of online systems databases. He states that if you could enter the entire content of the Library of Congress into a database that you could have a resource with were we can ask questions and get answers as well as “asking questions of Human Beings.”
That this Library of Congress Database “will be most useful when it “understands” the information formation stored in it” and “will become more and more able to understand and correlate the facts”.
The computer with the LC Database will be able to “mulls over facts to understand the implications of them and try to understand them and try to come to new conclusions.”
Dr. Sutherland poses the following questions about future in 1965:
-
“How about a computer that could prove mathematical Theorems all by itself”.
-
“Suppose we finally write a computer program which is able to write computer programs.”
-
“Suppose we could state our problems to a computer able to program it would solve the problems.”
In this very insightful chapter, he also discusses the computers relationship with Human Beings and society, its relationship with “work” in theoretical, practical, and philosophical future terms.
Dr. Ivan Sutherland American computer scientist and Internet pioneer, widely regarded as the "father of computer graphics.”
