Purpose of indexing = Retrieval
DEFINITION Indexing = عملية وصف وتعريف المصدر وفقا للمحتوى الموضوعي
BASIC INDEXING PRINCIPLES OPERATION & PURPOSE STAGE 1: determining the subject STAGE 2: representing concepts by elements in the indexing language
STAGE 1 • Understanding the document • Identifying concepts • Selecting concepts
STAGE 1 DETERMINATION OF THE SUBJECT = RECOGNITION OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PARTS OF A RESOURCE • TITLE • SUMMARY • TABLE OF CONTENTS • INTRODUCTION • FIRST PARAGRAPHS • CONCLUSIONS • ILLUSTRATIONS
STAGE 1 MOST IMPORTANT ! • Cannot add input at output stage • Unreasonable saving in indexing increases cost in retrieval • IF NOT INDEXED PROPERLY A RESOURCE MAY BE LOST FOREVER
STAGE 1 MAIN CRITERIA FOR INDEXING • Specificity • Exhaustivity
STAGE 2 REPRESENTING CONCEPTS BY ELEMENTS IN THE INDEXING LANGUAGE = AGRIS INDEXING LANGUAGE
REPRESENTATION NATURAL LANGUAGE (THESAURUS) SYMBOLS (CLASSIFICATION)
AGRIS SUBJECT CONTROL • ENRICHMENT OF TITLE • CATEGORIZATION • AGROVOC
INTRODUCTION TO AGROVOC CONTROLLED VOCABULARY THESAURUS AGROVOC
A CONTROLLED VOCABULARY IS A listing of terms that have been selected To be used for: Indexing into Or Retrieving from A bibliographic database
A THESAURUS IS A CONTROLLED VOCABULARY In which the semantic relationships between the chosen terms are shown
RELATIONSHIPS CAN BE: • PREFERENTIAL • HIERARCHICAL • ASSOCIATIVE
PREFERENTIAL RELATIONSHIP phytopathology USE PLANT PATHOLOGY labor USE LABOUR genetics USE HEREDITY USE = use a descriptor instead of a non descriptor PLANT PATHOLOGY UF phytopathology LABOUR UF labor HEREDITY UF genetics UF = used for a non descriptor
HIERARCHICAL RELATIONSHIP BRASSICA CAMPESTRIS SPECIES BT1 BRASSICA GENUS BT2 CRUCIFERAE FAMILY BT3 RHOEADALES ORDER BT4 DICOTYLEDONS CLASS DICOTYLEDONS CLASS NT1 RHOEADALES ORDER NT2 CRUCIFERAE FAMILY NT3 BRASSICA GENUS NT4 BRASSICA CAMPESTRIS SPECIES
ASSOCIATIVE RELATIONSHIP • Creative relation NECTAR RT HONEY • Concurrent use relation TEACHING RT EDUCATION MACHINERY RT MECHANIZATION • Cause and effect relation DEFOLIANTS RT ABSCISSION • Instrumentalrelation PLOUGHING RT PLOUGHS PEST CONTROL RT PESTICIDES • Material relation FIBRE PULP RT FIBREBOARDS MILK RT MILK PRODUCTS
RELATIONSHIPSSTRUCTURE Fungal diseases UF USE BT NT DISEASES DERMATO MYCOSES MYCOSES NT BT RT RT FUNGI
A THESAURUS MAY ALSO CONTAIN SCOPE NOTE WORD BLOCK TOP TERM
SCOPE NOTES To supplement descriptors and non descriptors when it is felt necessary to explain, define or limit a given term. Example: CITRUS (in general, it is preferable to use descriptors listed under CITRUS FRUITS because the taxonomy of citrus species is confused)
WORD BLOCKS EXAMPLE BULLOCKS Descriptor entry term (Castrated bulls) (scope note) UF ox Non-descriptors for which UF oxen BULLOCKS should be used UF steers BT CATTLE Broader or more generic terms BT working animals RT BULLS Term related to BULLOCKS
AGROVOCIS A LISTING OF: • Detailed terminology of useful animals and plants • Less specific terminology of all other subject areas within the scope of AGRIS
