Patrick, Timothy B.; Sievert, MaryEllen C.; Popescu, Mihail – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1999
Describes an alternative method for indexing images in an image database. The method consists of manually indexing a selected reference image, and then using retrieval by graphical content to automatically transfer the manually assigned index terms from the reference image to the images to be indexed. (AEF)

Humphrey, Susanne M. – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1998
Work has been performed on a fully automated approach for the general categorization of documents based on a training set of document titles and abstracts and journal-level indexing of the journals in which the documents are published. The goal of this research is to automatically index documents using a consistent, timely set of controlled…

Srinivasan, Padmini; Ruiz, Miguel E.; Lam, Wai – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1996
Proposes a model that assists in understanding indexing on the World Wide Web and presents an experiment assessing the validity of Inverse Document Frequency (IDF) as a term weighting strategy for Web documents. Findings indicate that IDF scores are not stable in the heterogeneous and dynamic context of the Web. (Author/AEF)

Weinberg, Bella Hass – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1996
Discusses detailed classification systems, sophisticated alphabetical indexing systems and reasons for the abandonment of complex indexing systems. The suggested structure for indexing the Internet or other large electronic collections of documents is based on that of book indexes: specific headings with coined modifications. (Author/AEF)

Mai, Jens-Erik – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1997
Analyzes key problems associated with representation of the intellectual content of digital objects. Presents a framework for analysis based on Peirce's notion of unlimited semiosis. This analysis is based on the assumption that every element in the subject indexing process could be regarded a sign. (AEF)
