Highlights: Language- and Domain-Independent Automatic Indexing Terms for Abstracting.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cohen, Jonathan D. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1995
A statistical method of drawing index terms or "highlights" from text is presented that uses no stop list, stem or other language- and domain-specific components, allowing operation in any domain or language with minimal modification. Some experimental results are presented, showing operation in six different languages. (67 references)…

Concept-Based Retrieval of Hypermedia Information: From Term Indexing to Semantic Hyperindexing.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Arents, Hans C.; Bogaerts, Walter F. L. – Information Processing and Management, 1993
Discusses and examines two approaches to concept-based retrieval of hypermedia information that improve a user's ability to navigate large systems--term indexing with semantically coupled thesauri and semantic hyperindexing. Visualization of index structures is discussed, and an example, the Cube of Contents retrieval model for the "Active…

A Hypertext-Based Thesaurus as a Subject Browsing Aid for Bibliographic Databases.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pollard, Richard – Information Processing and Management, 1993
A hypertext-based thesaurus is proposed as a navigational aid to the subject domain of a bibliographic database. Implementation of a hypertext version of the "Thesaurus of ERIC Descriptors" with database linking strategies is discussed. (44 references) (EA)

Querying a Hypertext Information Retrieval System by the Use of Classification.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Aboud, M.; And Others – Information Processing and Management, 1993
Presents an information systems navigation approach using a combination of functionalities encountered in classification processes, Hypertext systems, and information retrieval systems. The first version of the SYRIUS system is described, with emphasis on the user's graphic interface which integrates these functionalities. (26 references) (EA)

Retrieval Hierarchies in Hypertext.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rada, Roy; And Others – Information Processing and Management, 1993
Describes a collaborative, reuse hypertext system, called MUCH (Many Using and Creating Hypertext). The novel browsing and retrieval characteristics of the system are based on a semantic net connecting documents, thesauri, and discussions. Word patterns are documented for reuse, creating and reorganizing network traversal according to user…

Towards the European Education Metathesaurus.
Roulin, Corentin – 1990
Designed to offer a "common language" to all of the parties involved in European cooperation in education, the European Education Metathesaurus is the set made up of the European Education Thesaurus (the third edition of the EUDISED Thesaurus) and the indexing languages that will be attached to it, whether sub-thesauri, specialized…

GIPSY: Automated Geographic Indexing of Text Documents.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Woodruff, Allison Gyle; Plaunt, Christian – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1994
Presents an algorithm that automatically extracts words and phrases containing geographic place names or characteristics from a text document and uses them as input to database functions that use spatial reasoning to approximate statistically the geoposition referenced in the text. Preliminary results and future work are discussed. (28 references)…
