    Abstract
    Die geschichtliche Entwicklung von ISO 2788: Documentation - Guidelines for the establishment and development of monolingual thesauri und ISO 5964: Documentation - Guidelines for the establishment and development of multilingual thesauri wird kurz beschrieben. 2001 begann die Arbeit an der Entwicklung von BS 8723: Structured Vocabularies for Information Retrieval - Guide, einer fünfteiligen Norm, die konzipiert wurde, um die internationalen Normen zu aktualisieren, insbesondere mit Hinblick auf Interoperabilität. Der Verfahrensablauf zur Übernahme von BS 8723 als internationale Norm hat begonnen.

    "Wie bereits in den Vorjahren hielt das Deutsche Netzwerk der Indexer (DNI) auf der Frankfurter Buchmesse 2006 sein Jahrestreffen ab - diesmal im Rahmen der Jahreskonferenz der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Informationswissenschaft und Informationspraxis (DGI). Im Mittelpunkt des Treffens stand eine offene Informationsveranstaltung mit Präsentationen zu Aspekten professioneller Registererstellung, die sehr gut besucht war. Neben Gästen aus der Publikationsbranche sowie von der DGI kamen Indexer vom Niederländischen Indexer-Netzwerk sowie spezielle Gäste aus den USA und Großbritannien. Jochen Fassbender vom DNI hielt einen Vortrag über grundsätzliche Thesen zur Lage des Indexing in Deutschland. Die im internationalen Vergleich noch erhebliche Defizite aufweisende Situation im deutschsprachigen Raum wurde durch vier Bereiche beleuchtet. 1. Registererstellung beschränkt sich keineswegs nur - wie immer noch weitläufig angenommen - auf das bloße Anstreichen von Textwörtern. Eine derartige Vorgehensweise führt zu konkordanzähnlichen Verzeichnissen statt zu Registern. Es geht vielmehr darum, das Gemeinte aus dem Text in Registereinträge umzusetzen und diese mit einem Beziehungsgeflecht zu verbinden. 2. Die Erstellung von Registern durch Autoren, Herausgebern oder gar Hilfskräften - womöglich kurz vor Ende eines Projektes - hat oft erhebliche Mängel zur Folge, da aus Fachkreisen immer wieder bestätigt wird, dass derartige Personengruppen - im Gegensatz zu professionellen Indexern - kaum über adäquates Fachwissen zur methodischen Vorgehensweise bei der Registererstellung noch über geeignete Indexing-Programme verfügen. 3. Moderne Registererstellung muss keineswegs mit Tools wie Word oder Layout-Programmen durchgeführt werden, deren Einsatz aus Indexer-Sicht z. T. erhebliche Nachteile mit sich bringt. Der weitaus größte Teil der weltweit arbeitenden Indexer arbeitet mit so genannter Dedicated Indexing Software, welche die vielfachen Aspekte bei der Registererstellung hervorragend unterstützt.

    "Mit Google Print bzw. mittlerweile Google Book Search und dem Projekt zur Übernahme eines brancheneigenen Portals zur Pflege und Bereitstellung digitaler Daten aus Büchern namens "Volltextsuche online" initiiert durch den Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels tritt ein Thema auf den Plan, das im deutschen Sprachraum lange vernachlässigt wurde: allgemein gesprochen, die Notwendigkeit der Texterschließung durch Indexierung - sei sie gedruckt in Form von Registern im Anhang von Sach- und wissenschaftlichen Büchern oder ungedruckt in Form sog. Volltextabfragen per Suchmaske am Computer. Angesichts der exponentiell wachsenden Menge an Wissen ist es gut, wenn hierzu Überlegungen angestellt werden und damit die Chance besteht, neben der wirtschaftlichen auch über die wissenstheoretische Dimension dieser Dienste nachzudenken. Zweifellos wird die Bedeutung der Indexierung von Fließtext aus wissenstheoretischer Sicht in Zukunft noch weiter wachsen und bedeutet im Falle einer Online-Plattform (wenn sie denn in naher Zukunft eine hinreichend große Menge an Büchern in ihrem Datenbestand aufweisen wird) die Erfüllung eines Traumes für die wissenschaftliche Arbeit: Es ist fantastisch, in Millisekunden das Vorhandensein von Personen, Termen, Phrasen und Wortkomposita zu ermitteln, um die Ein- bzw. Nichteinschlägigkeit eines Buches und - mehr noch -vieler Bücher für die eigene Arbeit eindeutig beantworten zu können. Es ist fantastisch, im Trefferfall die gesuchte Information sogleich auf dem Monitor exzerpieren zu können oder sich auch bei ausbleibenden Treffern das Durcharbeiten eines ganzen Buches, vielleicht sogar einer halben Bibliothek ersparen zu können. Dabei ist das letztere Resultat mindestens eine genauso wichtige Information wie die erste, denn auch sie wird- man darf fast sagen, so gut wie immer - zu einer unglaublichen Ersparnis an Zeit verhelfen; hier bedeutet allein schon die Verringerung der Datenmenge einen Zuwachs an Wissen unter minimalem Zeitaufwand. Angesichts dieser Diagnose ist die These zu wagen, die digitale Revolution beginnt erst wirklich bei der Nutzung der Volltexte selbst als Datenquelle zur Wissensabfrage.

    Abstract
    The "Relative Index" of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) is investigated over the span of its lifetime in 22 editions of the DDC as to its character as a concept indexing system, its provision of conceptual contexts for the terms it lists, and the way in which the index intersects with special tables of categories used in the system. Striking features of the index that are discussed include how the locater function of an index is expressed in it, its practice of including concepts that have not been given specific notational locations in the system, its two methods of providing conceptual contexts for indexed terms (by means of the notation of the system and by the insertion of enhancement terms that portray conceptual context), and how the index has intersected with three types of special tables of categories in the system. Critical issues raised include the indexing of constructed or synthesized complex concepts, inconsistencies in how enhancement terms are portrayed and the absence of them in some instances, the problem of equating conceptual context with disciplinary context, and problems associated with not indexing one type of special table. Summary and conclusions are extended to problems that arise in studying the index.
