- Abstract
- For many years it has been believed that in order to design optimal document retrieval systems one must assign index terms to documents at their optimal depth: therefore, it was of primary importance to answer the following question: "What is the optimal depth of indexing?" This article offers an analysis and answer to this question. We show that the issue of depth of indexing is, in fact, not a central issue in the design of effective document retrieval systems. It turns out that the answer to the question about optimal depth is a logical consequence of answers (which this article provides) to more fundamental questions about indexing and retrieval
