Abstract

Report on research carried out in Brazil for a doctoral thesis, investigating the possibility of using the PRECIS indexing system for documents in Portuguese. Discusses the theoretical basis of PRECIS, and presents the resultss of a study in comparing the use PRECIS to index 2 samples of documents, in English and Portuguese respectively. Concludes that, with minor modifications to take account of the differences in structure between the 2 languages. PRECIS could produce satisfactory results for documents in Portuguese. This suggests the further possibility that PRECIS - because of its sound logical basis rather than its complex linguistic theory - could become a multilingual indexing system.

Abstract

In Brazil, librarianship courses focus on practical applications of information retrieval tools (thesauri, classification schemes) and exclude theory and methodology, so students are not equipped to develop new tools or evaluate existing ones. Proposes a knowledge base drawing on both classification theory (Ranganathan) and theories about knowledge (Wüster), thus using both hierarchical and relational approaches to organising concepts, to establish a dynamic theory of knowledge as methodology for the study of documentation languages
