Encyclopedia : D : DI : DIA : Dialog (online database)

Dialog is an online information service owned by Thomson Corporation. The earliest form of the Dialog system was completed in 1966 under the direction of Roger K. Summit. According to its literature, it was "the world's first online information retrieval system to be used globally with materially significant databases". Content on Dialog services includes news feeds, broadcast transcripts, articles from newspapers and magazines, financial analysis information, references, and research and technical data in a multitude of other subjects.

Dialog provides more than 15 terabytes of content. Dialogg's collection of over 900 databases handles more than 700,000 searches and delivers over 17 million document page views per month.

Many of Dialog's recente business challenges can be attributed to the proliferation of the Internet and questionable marketing strategy.
