Abstract: Our main goal in this paper is to propose a new approach for storing dictionaries and thesauruses using only the names but not pointers and this way to simplify and to speed up the corresponded computer programs. It is called “Natural Language Addressing” (NLA). This approach is a possibility to access information using natural language words or phrases as direct addresses of the information in the computer memory. For this purpose the internal encoding of the letters is used to generate corresponded address co-ordinates. This paper outlines the main idea of NLA approach. An extended example based on the WordNet? thesaurus is given.

Keywords: addressing; natural language addressing.

ACM Classification Keywords: D.4.3 File Systems Management, Access methods.
