AB Database Tomography (DT) is a textual database analysis system
   consisting of two major components: 1) Algorithms for
   extracting multiword phrase frequencies and phrase proximities
(physical closeness of the multiword technical phrases) from
   any type of large textual database, to augment 2)
   interpretative capabilities of the expert human analyst. DT was
   used to derive technical intelligence from a
   hypersonic/supersonic flow (HSF) database derived from the
   Science Citation Index and the Engineering Compendex. Phrase
   frequency analysis by the technical domain expert provided the
   pervasive technical themes of the HSF database, and the phrase
   proximity analysis provided the relationships among the
 pervasive technical themes. Bibliometric analysis of the HSF
   literature supplemented the DT results with
   author/journal/institution publication and citation data.
   Comparisons of HSF results with past analyses of similarly
   structured near-earth space and Chemistry databases are made.
   One important finding is that many of the normalized
   bibliometric distribution functions are extremely consistent
   across these diverse technical domains.
