In computing, it refers to an interactive exchange like a question and response process between a user and a computer program. Also, it is a form of interactive communication protocol, where actions or processes are more cooperative rather than one-sided. A dialog can also imply a discussion of ideas or opinions on a certain topic, often with differing viewpoints.

1. Dialog

   Dialog is an online information service owned by ProQuest, who acquired it from Thomson Reuters in mid-2008. Dialog was one of the predecessors of the World Wide Web as a provider of information, though not in form. 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". In the 1980s, a low-priced dial-up version of a subset of Dialog was marketed to individual users as Knowledge Index. This subset included INSPEC, MathSciNet, over 200 other bibliographic and reference databases, as well as third-party retrieval vendors who would go to physical libraries to copy materials for a fee and send it to the service subscriber.
