Progress is reported on the development of a partial syntactic analysis technique for indexing text. Although over 500,000 words of text have been indexed, this report is limited to the analysis of results at the 115,000 word level. There is the expectation that the error rate of commission, the selection of grammatically incorrect word sequences,…

This study proposed to develop techniques and procedures for the indexing, storing, and retrieving music education document information in a computer-assisted information retrieval system. (Authors)

A model which relates the access control and indexing functions. The model is based on concept protection which allows a practically unbounded number of levels (subsets) of protection without requiring a fixed hierarchy among the levels. This protection is offered independently for each of the user operations allowed. (Author)

Progress is reported at the 1,000,000 word level on the development of a partial syntatic analysis technique for indexing text. A new indexing subroutine for hyphens is provided. New grammars written and programmed for Machine Aided Indexing (MAI) are discussed. (ED 069 290 is a related document) (Author)

A survey of automatic indexing systems and experiments has been conducted by the Research Information Center and Advisory Service on Information Processing, Information Technology Division, Institute for Applied Technology, National Bureau of Standards. Consideration is first given to indexes compiled by or with the aid of machines, including…

The paper reports on a series of programs that have been developed at the Moore School to process data-bases, consisting of textual items, and to index and arrange the data items in accordance with an automatically generated classification system. The programs produce the directories and the rearranged data-base on microfilm, where it may be…

Discusses the rules for correct alphabetization for languages and in automated alphabetization the rules for what must be done as well as what must not be done. (Author)

This review of the Keyword-in-Context (KWIC) indexing considers its inception by Luhn, its original format and purpose, various applications and uses of the basic KWIC concept, its advantages and disadvantages, and evaluations of its effectiveness. (30 references) (Author/NH)

Reports on a series of programs that have been developed to process data bases, consisting of textual items, and to index and arrange (classify) the data items in accordance with an automatically generated classification system. (Author)

Working toward the goal of an automatic indexing system which is truly competitive with human indexing in cost, time and comprehensiveness the Machine-Aided Indexing (MAI) process was developed at the Defense Documentation Center (DDC). This indexing process uses linguistic techniques but does not require complete syntactic analysis of sentences…

Libraries, as well as larger information networks, are necessarily based upon the storage of information files consisting in many cases of written materials and texts such as books, serials, abstracts, manuscripts and archives. At the present stage of the "information explosion" no librarian can afford to ignore the contribution of…

An evaluation of graph theoretical clusters of index terms which can be extracted from an automatically indexed document collection, and the effects of employing such clusters in automatic document retrieval are described. (19 references) (Author)

In today's library environment, the library's most important asset is its machine-readable database. In order to maintain this investment, Data Research Associates provides several comprehensive data conversion services, including retrospective conversion and authority control. For bibliographic records not yet in MARC (machine readable…

This paper briefly reviews the information explosion of the last thirty years and the various attempts made to organize that information in new ways. Section B offers a brief historic review of modern classification and subject heading theory. Section C reviews the literature of automatic indexing, automatic abstracting, and automatic…

Computerization seems to offer some solutions to the inadequacies of the card catalog. However, vocabulary obstacles must be overcome before the history, art history, and art students alike can enter libraries all over the world and quickly satisfy their various needs. (10 references) (Author/NH)
