Nedobity, Wolfgang – UNESCO Journal of Information Science, Librarianship and Archives Administration, 1983
Discusses the connection between the fields of terminology and information science and demonstrates the importance of linguistics, in particular the theory of terminology, in the automation of such information processes as classification, indexing, and abstracting. Fourteen references are cited. (Author/EJS)

Figa, Elizabeth; Tarau, Paul – Proceedings of the ASIST Annual Meeting, 2003
Describes a framework for building "story traces" (compact global views of a narrative) and "story projects" (selections of key elements of a narrative) and their applications in text understanding and classification. The resulting "abstract story traces" provide a compact view of the underlying narrative's key…

Baker, F. T.; Williams, John H., Jr. – 1968
To support studies in automatic indexing, classification and extracting, a general purpose frequency program was developed to further theoretical and practical understanding of text word distributions. While the program is primarily designed for counting strings of character-oriented data, it can be used without change for counting any items which…

Outlines a cognitive process model of abstracting, indexing, and classification that is based on text comprehension processes. Text comprehension for indexing versus other purposes is discussed, including conceptual and perceptual processing; conceptual knowledge and the development of expertise are discussed; and characteristics of short-term and…

Simon, Hans-Reiner – 1986
Designed to provide students of information science with an introduction to British librarian Samuel Clement Bradford's 1934 findings about the scattering of information, this reader on Bradford's Law begins by discussing its use in calculating search procedures in printed bibliographies as well as in databases. The following additional materials…

Katter, Robert V. – 1968
Document searching systems, such as those in libraries, are comprised of chains of components that transmit information. The components consist of mechanisms for doing classification, indexing, abstracting and cataloging of documents, and for converting users' statements of need to expressions suitable for searching the system. Improvement of the…

Swift, D. F.; And Others – 1973
The objective of this project was to build a non-interfering indexing system, in which the social scientist users, who have varying conceptual orientations toward their field, would not be restricted in their literature searching by a single conceptual orientation imposed on the system by information scientists. With the cooperation of subject…
