An Approach to Multidimensional Data Array Processing by Computer Some recent work on the development of general-purpose computer-based statistical and data processing capabilities for handling multidimensional arrays of data is presented. Attention is first given to some of the general problems of multidimensional table and array processing. This is followed by a summary of some recent developments in array processing capabilities at the World Bank, in particular, the system identified as WRAPS(World Bank Retrieval and Array Processing System).
