Abstract

Many back-of-the-book indexers are now taking on projects published on CD-ROM, accessed through a Web site or through internal intranet. Outlines the scope of online indexing and discusses factors affecting the methods used to index online, the index display, and how work will proceed. Considers: the boundaries within which the index will be placed; authoring tools; how the index is displayed; how the indexing gets into the files; the kinds of files included in the project; time schedules; equipment needs; and fees for online projects. Includes a brief list of further readings about indexing online documents

Rez. in: IWP 60(2009) H.4, S.245 (J. Fassbender): "Heather Heddens Buch über Website-Indexing gehört zur Indexing Specialties-Serie, die vom Information Today-Verlag in Zusammenarbeit mit der American Society of Indexers herausgegeben wird. Der Bereich Website-Indexing befasst sich mit der Index-Erstellung und -Pflege für Websites und Intranets - ähnlich zu Registern für Printpublikationen. Ein Website-Index hat oft die Bezeichnung Site Index oder A-Z Index und sollte zudem nicht mit Site Maps verwechselt werden. Das Buch füllt gerade auch hierzulande eine Riesenlücke aus: Nach Einschätzung des Deutschen Netzwerks der Indexer (DNI) ist das Wissensdefizit über Website-Indexing in der deutschen Web- und IT-Szene enorm. Die Autorin beginnt in diesem Sinne auch gleich mit zwei Kernaussagen des Buches: 1. Website-Indexing sei deshalb in der Web-Szene nicht so verbreitet, weil die Kenntnisse der Methoden zur Index-Erstellung fehlen und/oder die nötigen Tools unbekannt sind. 2. Ein guter Index stelle für viele Sites die effektivste Suchmethode dar - trotz der Konkurrenz zu Navigationsmenüs und Sucheingabe. Verdeutlicht werden sodann die Unterschiede zu Print-Registern, der bedeutendste betrifft die Locators (Fundstellen), die in der Regel keine Seitenangaben, sondern Links sind.
Ein Kapitel über HTML-Grundlagen ist für diejenigen Indexer gedacht, die sich in diesem Bereich bisher nicht oder wenig auskennen. Ein weiteres Kapitel verdeutlicht die HTML-Tags, die speziell für die Website-Index-Erstellung von Bedeutung sind. Die Erläuterungen zu Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) ist ausreichend, aber etwas knapp; hier wären einige CSS-Techniken für Fortgeschrittene von Interesse gewesen. Auf die Möglichkeiten von Konvertierungs-Tools (wie HTML/Prep), mit denen Dokumente ins HTML-Format umgewandelt werden können, sowie von Online Help Authoring Tools wird ebenfalls eingegangen. Sie bilden eine gute Ergänzung zu den indexspezifischen HTML-Erläuterungen. Das Thema XML ist bewusst ausgeschlossen worden, um sich vom Fokus des Buches nicht zu weit zu entfernen. Dennoch hätte man sich als Leser zumindest ein paar grundsätzliche Erläuterungen im Kontext zum Website-Indexing gewünscht. Ein Kapitel über Dedicated-IndexingSoftware behandelt deren Möglichkeiten einer Index-Erstellung für Websites. Die Autorin argumentiert überzeugend, dass die großen Vorteile dieser von Indexern weltweit am meisten eingesetzten Software deren mächtige Möglichkeiten zur Erstellung, Bearbeitung, Veränderung und Kontrolle von Index-Einträgen sind, was einer hohen Index-Qualität zugute kommt. Die HTML-Ausgabe-Optionen dieser Software-Art sind allerdings etwas eingeschränkter, so dass der Output oft einer Nachbearbeitung bedarf. Es folgen zwei Kapitel über spezielle Website-Indexing-Software. XRefHT (gesprochen: Shreft) ist eine Freeware, die von Prof. Timothy Craven (University of Western Ontario) entwickelt wurde. HTML Indexer ist eine kommerziell erhältliche Software. Detailliert erläutert werden, welche Elemente von Web-Seiten von den beiden Programmen für Index-Einträge berücksichtigt werden, wie Index-Einträge und Querverweise erstellt und bearbeitet und wie die Register aktualisiert werden können.
Zwei Kapitel behandeln die Vorgehensweise bei der Index-Erstellung sowie die vielfältigen Aspekte der Index-Gestaltung. Anhand vieler Beispiele werden die Besonderheiten, aber auch Parallelen zu Printregistern beleuchtet, z. B. bestehende und neu einzufügende Anker, Berücksichtigung verschiedener Seiten-Arten und -Formate, Umgang mit mehreren Locatorn pro Eintrag, Navigation innerhalb des Site Indexes. Das Schlusskapitel widmet sich den Business-Aspekten des Website-Indexing, auch aus Freelancer-Sicht. Erläutert werden z. B., welche Arten von Websites in Frage kommen und wie die Fortführung der Indexierung berücksichtigt wird. Der Index des Buches ist insgesamt von guter Qualität, wie man es von den Indexing-Büchern des Information Today-Verlages gewöhnt ist - ja sogar von exzellenter Qualität im Vergleich zu vielen unzureichenden Registern deutschsprachiger Fachbücher. Mit fünf Prozent Umfang im Verhältnis zur Anzahl der inhaltlichen Seiten hat der Index eine gute Standardlänge. Wesentliche Indexierungstechniken, wie Untereinträge, siehe- und siehe auch-Querverweise, vollständige Seitenbereichsangaben (d. h. ohne die wenig hilfreichen ff.-Angaben) kommen zum Einsatz. Einige Untereinträge tauchen allerdings nicht auch als Haupteintrag auf; so findet man z. B. "indexing rates" nur als Untereintrag des Haupteintrages "Business and index market". Die typographische und satztechnische Qualität des Registers ist ebenfalls gut, z. B. unterschiedliche Einrückungen von Untereinträgen und deren Zeilenumbrüchen. Insgesamt gesehen ist Indexing Specialties: Web Sites ein sehr empfehlenswertes Buch, das ein wichtiges (und bisher vernachlässigtes) Thema abdeckt."

Abstract

Describes the 26 entires to the 1996 Australian society of Indexers' (AusSI) Prize for Web indexes. Entries showed a variety of approaches to Web indexing and included: linear back-of-book style indexes; annotated bibliographies; Yahoo-style hierachical sites; and beautiful castles with rooms full of links. Entries were judges on ease of use of the index for a novice user, content and breadth of coverage, and usefulness at getting information that could answer questions. The winner was the Australian Parliamentary Library Index by Alan Wilson, an index to the information on the Commonwealth Parliamentary Library's Web site and from othe departments of the Australian Parliament. A brief description of each entrey is given together with its URL and the compiler's email address. All entries can be reached on the Web

Abstract

Usability of Web sites has become an increasingly important area of research as Web sites proliferate and problems with use are noted. Generally, aspects of Web sites that have been investigated focus on such areas as overall design and navigation. The exploratory study reported on here investigates one specific component of a Web site-the index structure. By employing index usability metrics developed by Liddy and Jörgensen (1993; Jörgensen & Liddy, 1996) and modified to accommodate a hypertext environment, the study compared the effectiveness and efficiency of 20 subjects who used one existing index (the A-Z index on the FedStats Web site at http://www.fedstats.gov) and three experimental variants to complete five researcher-generated tasks. User satisfaction with the indexes was also evaluated. The findings indicate that a hypertext index with multiple access points for each concept, all linked to the same resource, led to greater effectiveness and efficiency of retrieval on almost all measures. Satisfaction measures were more variable. The study offers insight into potential improvements in the design of Web-based indexes and provides preliminary assessment of the validity of the measures employed

Abstract

Creating an online index for a Web site is not a job for the timid. Those contemplating this form of Web indexing should already be accomplished indexers and should have strong experience in Web page creation. Knowledge of HTML is essential. In fact, depending on the nature of a Web indexing job, you may find that it requires more HTML knowledge than indexing skill. Like embedded indexing, Web site indexing is far more work than traditional indexing: the choice of terms is constrained, and the indexing process itself is slower and more challenging. Entries must be carefully chosen because the editing process can be tedious and time-consuming, sometimes more time-consuming than making the original entries. Hypertext links and anchors must be added, and the index itself must be tested to make sure that links work as intended. Adequate compensation for your project is imperative. Web indexing does have its rewards, though, especially for indexers who are intrigued by the Web and Web page design, for those who like a challenge, and, of course, for those who like to have their work online for all the world to see. This article provides a look at the process of creating a Web index for an online newsletter. It is also applicable to other forms of Web site indexing, and should give the beginning Web site indexer an idea of what to expect on that first job

Abstract

Users of the Information Superhighway need signposts to find their way to appropriate, accurate and current information. Given the sheer quantity of information, intellectual indexing is more relevant than ever, complementing and augmenting automatic keyword indexing. Signposts come in various forms including browser bookmarks, local, on-site and remote lists, indexes and directories, temporary search engine results, and metadata. The considerable body of theory on vocabulary control for online database searching can be adapted to index construction for the Internet. At the same time, there are unresolved issues concerning information quality, indexing decisions, and standards
