Abstract
A bi-directional translator is disclosed which translates between low level substantially binary records of a data repository (such as a data log) and substantially equivalent high level English-like terms. Thus, the translator is used to translate English-like queries for the data repository into equivalent binary records which can, in turn, be used in retrieving appropriately matching records from the data repository where the data repository records are redundant and have both time related dependencies between the records and have a plurality of different binary formats. Subsequently, the translator is used to translate the retrieved records into substantially equivalent non-redundant English-like terms having no time related dependencies between terms and such that the data format for the terms is substantially uniform.
