One-Eyed King: Automated Indexing.

Oliver, Christine Tomaszuk

Canadian Library Journal, v46 n5 p312-16 Oct 1989

Describes the mechanistic model of language on which automatic indexing is based, and examines the underlying assumptions of the model to demonstrate the ineffectiveness of this indexing. It is argued that theoretical research from the fields of linguistics, psychology, and philosophy need to be incorporated into automatic indexing to overcome these inadequacies.
