Ghose, Amitabha; Dhawle, Anand S. – Information Processing and Management, 1979
Describes MANIS, an information system for retrieval of interdisciplinary information in management, which maintains traditional classification but allows the user to combine terms of his choice, where choice is restricted to terms belonging to the systems of traditional classification. (CWM)

Perry, Jessica, Ed.; Pietrzyk, Alfred, Ed. – 1971
The four chapters included in this report are based on LINCS project activities undertaken since 1968, with an emphasis on indexing tools in the language sciences and related problems. Chapter one, "Indexing Tools for the Language Sciences: Methodology," discusses the development of a LINCS thesaurus and its role in the LINCS network.…

Radecki, Tadeusz – Information Processing and Management, 1981
Demonstrates the property of inclusiveness of document retrieval systems where documents are indexed by unweighted terms and in which query search patterns are Boolean functions of descriptors and presents three methods for determining a partial ordering on a set of system responses to these queries. Eleven sources are listed. (FM)

Swift, D.F.; And Others – 1977
A fundamental problem in the two broad approaches to indexing in the social sciences--providing structure using preferred terms, cross references, and groupings of sets of materials, or compiling a concordance of an author's terms based on occurrence, leaving users free to impose their own structure--is that different indexers and users focus on…

Griffiths, Jose-Marie – Journal of Documentation, 1975
The index term input to three information retrieval systems has been analyzed in detail in order to form the input to a completely computerized simulation of an information retrieval system. The paper reports that, with certain reservations, index terms conform in general with the Bradford distribution. (Author)

Danilowicz, Czeslaw – Information Processing and Management, 1983
Presents principles for determining profile of a system user based on analysis of co-occurrence of index terms in queries and pertinent documents. A procedure for determining index term weights, the information value of which depends on the degree of homogeneity of system users, is introduced. Three references are cited. (EJS)

Wall, E.; Barnes, J. – 1969
This is the fifth in a series of eight reports of a research study for the National Agricultural Library (NAL) on the effective utilization of bibliographic data bases in machine readable form. NAL desires ultimately to develop techniques of interacting with other data bases so that queries put to NAL may be answered with documents or document…

Uemura, Syunsuke – 1971
The characteristics of the Intrex subject/title inverted file are analyzed. Basic statistics of the inverted file are presented including various distributions of the index words and terms from which the file was derived, and statistics on stems, the file growth process, and redundancy measurements. A study of stems both with extremely high and…

Schultz, Claire K., Ed. – 1972
For information storage and retrieval, a thesaurus is used during indexing and searching processes to translate from natural language into a more restricted retrieval system language. The purpose of this thesaurus is to control the language used to index and retrieve documents of interest to Social and Rehabilitation Service (SRS) and the…

Cagan, Carl – J Amer Soc Info Sci, 1970
Introduced are methods for computation of term-term association factors, indexing, assignment of term-document relevance values, and computation for recall and relevance. Recall and relevance are based on quantitative intenal system computations, and results are compared with user evaluations. (Author/MF)

Contained are listings of descriptors used to index the literature in the National Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJRS) documentation data base, and to store and retrieve information about the literature for users of the service. Term selection is determined by the vocabulary used in the documents input into the system, the frequency of term…

Beltran, Alfred A. – 1967
A modified Keyword Out of Context (KWOC) system was developed to gain rapid control over more than 8,000 scattered, unindexed documents. This was the first step in providing the technical information support required by Air Force Rocket Propulsion Laboratory scientists and engineers. Implementation of the KWOC system, computer routines, and…

Mahapatra, Manoranjan; Biswas, Subal Chandra – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1986
Analyzes associations among different role operators quantitatively by taking input strings from 200 abstracts, each related to subject fields of taxation, genetic psychology, and Shakespearean drama, and subjecting them to the Chi-square test. Significant associations by other differencing operators and connectives are discussed. A schema of role…
