Abstract

Today, more and more software packages come with online documentation. Some have complete manuals as well. Others have basic documentation on paper and more advanced information online. I recently purchased a computer that came with 20 software programs and not one page of written documentation. More and more, users have to find information by searching online. Most documentation teams focus on writing and ignore the problems of information retrieval, making information in printed documents difficult to find, and online information impossible to find. With online Help, you cannot browse the documentation. You cannot even browse more than a couple of inches of the index at a time. If online users do not get superb guidance into the jungle of online Help, they go away like the hero of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, saying "Oh, the horror! The horror!" How does an online Help index work? The following examples are based on the Windows 95 Help-type system, but do not represent actual Help screens

Abstract

When the Web was invented, it was touted as a novel nonlinear medium for the written word. No longer would we be constrained by linear presentations! Hyperlinks would allow us to jump haphazardly from page to page, chapter to chapter, idea to idea! Texts would no longer need to run from beginning to end! This is misleading. A printed book is also multidimensional and potentially nonlinear. We can open it to any page, from any other page, for any reason. We can open several books at once. In fact, what makes a book special is its combination of linear structure (the order of the words) and nonlinear physicality (the bound papers). This linear/nonlinear duality is enhanced further by the index, which maps linearly sequenced pages in a nonlinear, informationally ordered structure (architecture). In truth, the online environment is crippled by an absence of linear structure. Imagine selecting a hard cover book, tearing off the covers, ripping pages into small pieces, and throwing them in a box. That box is like a computer file system, and the paper scraps are Web documents. Only one scrap can be retrieved from the box at a time, and it must be replaced before another can be accessed. Page numbers are meaningless. Global context is destroyed. And without page numbers or context, what happens to the index?

Abstract

In this chapter we turn to embedded indexing for the Internet, frequently called Web indexing. We will define Web indexes; describe the structure of entries for Web indexes; present some of the challenges that Web indexers face; and compare Web indexes to search engines. One of the difficulties in defining Web indexes is their relative newness. The first pages were placed on the World Wide Web in 1991 when Tim Berners Lee, its founder, uploaded four files. We are in a period of transition, moving from using well-established forms of writing and communications to others that are still in their infancy. Paramount among these is the Web. For indexers, this is an uncharted voyage where we must jettison firmly established ideas while developing new ones. Where the voyage will end is anyone's guess.

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

My goal in this short article is to bring you up to speed on Web indexing. I assume you are a person with good word skills and an inquisitive mind. Also, I assume you have good keyboard skills, access to the Internet, and have already created some HTML pages using, say, Netscape Composer. You may need help from your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to upload pages onto your Web site. This article is based on my experience teaching an online interactive course in Web indexing for my company, WWWalker Web Development, in 1998. We develop Web sites, support Linux and Windows NT, write technical articles, and specialize in Web indexing.

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

<META> tags are used to create meta-information, or information about the information in a Web site. There are many types of <META> tags, but those most relevant to indexing are the description and keyword tags. Description tags provide a short summary of the site contents that are often displayed by search engines when they list search results. Keyword tags are used to define words or phrases that someone using a search engine might use to look for relevant sites. <META> tags are of interest to indexers for two reasons. They provide a means of making your indexing business Web site more visible to those searching the Web for indexing services, and they offer indexers a potential new source of work: writing keyword and description tags for Web site developers and companies with Web sites. <META> tag writing makes good use of an indexer's ability to choose relevant key terms, and the closely related skill of abstracting: conveying the essence of a document in a sentence or two.

Abstract

If you want to let other indexers know about a great new medical dictionary, discuss the pros and cons of using prepositions in subentries, find an indexer in Phoenix, or maybe share some marketing tips, then consider joining an email discussion list. Email discussion lists provide numerous tools and opportunities for indexers, especially for freelancers. Despite the rapid growth of Web- and graphical-based communication, email remains the linchpin of electronic communication. While the World Wide Web has become ubiquitous in our society, email remains the most reliable form of electronic communication. Email access is more prevalent than Web access, less cumbersome, and some would say, more egalitarian. Despite improvements over time, Web access is not available in equal quality or proportion to email access, especially in poorer or developing areas. Indeed, many users who have access to both restrict their use of the Web for important research efforts, and maintain nearconstant connection with their email servers for daily business

Abstract

Most libraries have long had their own Web sites. The longer a library has had a Web site the more likely it is that the number of pages, and the amount of information within those pages, has grown beyond what users can find simply with the navigation menu. Building a site index is a great way to help seekers find all those bits of data they might otherwise miss.

Abstract

Do indexers really need Web sites? No, they do not. Indexers do not need computers either. Indexes can be done on cards; networking can be done at conferences; and marketing can be done with cold calls. But, just as email has become indispensable to communication, and computers have become essential to indexing, so Web sites have become more and more necessary for all types of businesses, particularly small companies with small advertising budgets, like indexing businesses. The amount of business being conducted on the Web is increasing exponentially. Publishers, packagers, and other potential clients are beginning to search the Web for indexers. Why not participate in e-commerce, the newest way of doing business? A good Web site not only helps you obtain work, it increases your professional reputation and helps you influence the future of indexing. You can use your site as an online resume, to display a list of all the books you have indexed in the past year, to provide examples of your work, and to network with others. You can use it to express your philosophy of indexing, to teach others about indexing, and to make your voice heard on issues affecting the indexing profession. Not all indexers need Web sites, but active, involved, and far-sighted indexers, like you, do!

Abstract

The book index occupies a special niche in the information retrieval world. Each index is a unique, authored work. Each book is a closed system. The text presented in a book does not change; the material is stable and fixed. Book indexers provide readers with a nonlinear way to access information in a text. Even though closed-system indexing predates the development of the printing press, a book index can be thought of as hypertext.

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.

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

Rez. in: Knowledge organization 30(2003) no.2, S.115-116 (C. Jacobs): "This collection of articles by indexing practitioners, software designers and vendors is divided into five sections: Dedicated Software, Embedded Software, Online and Web Indexing Software, Database and Image Software, and Voice-activated, Automatic, and Machine-aided Software. This diversity is its strength. Part 1 is introduced by two chapters an choosing dedicated software, highlighting the issues involved and providing tips an evaluating requirements. The second chapter includes a fourteen page chart that analyzes the attributes of Authex Plus, three versions of CINDEX 1.5, MACREX 7, two versions of SKY Index (5.1 and 6.0) and wINDEX. The lasting value in this chart is its utility in making the prospective user aware of the various attributes/capabilities that are possible and that should be considered. The following chapters consist of 16 testimonials for these software packages, completed by a final chapter an specialized/customized software. The point is made that if a particular software function could increase your efficiency, it can probably be created. The chapters in Part 2, Embedded Software, go into a great deal more detail about how the programs work, and are less reviews than illustrations of functionality. Perhaps this is because they are not really stand-alones, but are functions within, or add-ons used with larger word processing or publishing programs. The software considered are Microsoft Word, FrameMaker, PageMaker, IndexTension 3.1.5 that is used with QuarkXPress, and Index Tools Professional and IXgen that are used with FrameMaker. The advantages and disadvantages of embedded indexing are made very clear, but the actual illustrations are difficult to follow if one has not worked at all with embedded software. Nonetheless, the section is valuable as it highlights issues and provides pointers an solutions to embedded indexing problems.
Part 3, Online and Web Indexing Software, opens with a chapter in which the functionalities of HTML/Prep, HTML Indexer, and RoboHELP HTML Edition are compared. The following three chapters look at them individually. This section helps clarify the basic types of non-database web indexing - that used for back-of-the-book style indexes, and that used for online help indexes. The first chapter of Part 4, Database and image software, begins with a good discussion of what database indexing is, but falls to carry through with any listing of general characteristics, problems and attributes that should be considered when choosing database indexing software. It does include the results of an informal survey an the Yahoogroups database indexing site, as well as three short Gase studies an database indexing projects. The survey provides interesting information about freelancing, but it is not very useful if you are trying to gather information about different software. For example, the most common type of software used by those surveyed turns out to be word-processing software. This seems an odd/awkward choice, and it would have been helpful to know how and why the non-specialized software is being used. The survey serves as a snapshot of a particular segment of database indexing practice, but is not helpful if you are thinking about purchasing, adapting, or commissioning software. The three case studies give an idea of the complexity of database indexing and there is a helpful bibliography.
A chapter an image indexing starts with a useful discussion of the elements of bibliographic description needed for visual materials and of the variations in the functioning and naming of functions in different software packaltes. Sample features are discussed in light of four different software systems: MAVIS, Convera Screening Room, CONTENTdm, and Virage speech and pattern recognition programs. The chapter concludes with an overview of what one has to consider when choosing a system. The last chapter in this section is an oddball one an creating a back-ofthe-book index using Microsoft Excel. The author warns: "It is not pretty, and it is not recommended" (p.209). A curiosity, but it should have been included as a counterpoint in the first part, not as part of the database indexing section. The final section begins with an excellent article an voice recognition software (Dragon Naturally Speaking Preferred), followed by a look at "automatic indexing" through a critique of Sonar Bookends Automatic Indexing Generator. The final two chapters deal with Data Harmony's Machine Aided Indexer; one of them refers specifically to a news content indexing system. In terms of scope, this reviewer would have liked to see thesaurus management software included since thesaurus management and the integration of thesauri with database indexing software are common and time-consuming concerns. There are also a few editorial glitches, such as the placement of the oddball article and inconsistent uses of fonts and caps (eg: VIRAGE and Virage), but achieving consistency with this many authors is, indeed, a difficult task. More serious is the fact that the index is inconsistent. It reads as if authors submitted their own keywords which were then harmonized, so that the level of indexing varies by chapter. For example, there is an entry for "controlled vocabulary" (p.265) (singular) with one locator, no cross-references. There is an entry for "thesaurus software" (p.274) with two locators, plus a separate one for "Thesaurus Master" (p.274) with three locators. There are also references to thesauri/ controlled vocabularies/taxonomies that are not mentioned in the index (e.g., the section Thesaurus management an p.204). This is sad. All too often indexing texts have poor indexes, I suppose because we are as prone to having to work under time pressures as the rest of the authors and editors in the world. But a good index that meets basic criteria should be a highlight in any book related to indexing. Overall this is a useful, if uneven, collection of articles written over the past few years. Because of the great variation between articles both in subject and in approach, there is something for everyone. The collection will be interesting to anyone who wants to be aware of how indexing software works and what it can do. I also definitely recommend it for information science teaching collections since the explanations of the software carry implicit in them descriptions of how the indexing process itself is approached. However, the book's utility as a guide to purchasing choices is limited because of the unevenness; the vendor-written articles and testimonials are interesting and can certainly be helpful, but there are not nearly enough objective reviews. This is not a straight listing and comparison of software packaltes, but it deserves wide circulation since it presents an overall picture of the state of indexing software used by freelancers."

"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.
. . . Ich plädiere hier aus den oben genannten wissenstheoretischen Gründen nicht nur für die Aufrechterhaltung eines Mindestmaßes an Registern und Indexen im Anhang von physischen Büchern, sondern sogar für deren Ausbau, deren standardmäßige Zugabe bei Sach- und wissenschaftlichen Büchern gerade angesichts der Volltextnutzung durch Online-Abfragen. Warum? Hierzu sechs Argumente: 1. Wie oben bereits angerissen, lehrt die Erfahrung bei CD-ROM-Zugaben zu opulenten Werken, dass Parallelmedien mit Parallelinhalten von den Nutzern nicht wirklich angenommen werden; es ist umständlich, zur Auffindung bestimmter Textstellen den Computer befragen zu müssen und die Fundstellen dann zwischen zwei Buchdeckeln nachzuschlagen. 2. Über frei wählbare Suchbegriffe seitens des Nutzers ist noch keine Qualität der Suchergebnisse garantiert. Erst das Einrechnen entsprechender Verweisungsbegriffe und Synonyme in die Suchabfrage führt zu Qualität des Ergebnisses. Die scheinbar eingesparten Kosten einer einmaligen bzw. abonnementartigen Investition in eine Online-Verfügbarkeit der Buchinhalte vonseiten der Verlage werden dann über die Hintertür doch wieder fällig, wenn sich nämlich herausstellt, dass Nutzer bei der von ihnen gesuchten Information nicht fündig werden, weil sie unter dem "falschen", d.h. entweder ihnen nicht bekannten oder einem ihnen gerade nicht präsenten Schlagwort gesucht haben. Die Online-Suchabfrage, die auf den ersten Blick höchst nutzerfreundlich erscheint, da eine ungeheure Menge an Titeln die Abfrage umfasst, erweist sich womöglich als wenig brauchbar, wenn sich die Trefferqualität aus den genannten Gründen als beschränkt herausstellt. 3. Nur bei entsprechenden Restriktionen des Zugangs bzw. der präsentierten Textausschnitte werden die Verlage es gewährleistet sehen, dass die Nutzerin, der Nutzer nicht vom Kauf des physischen Buches Abstand nehmen. Nur wenn die Nutzer wissen, dass ihnen gerade jene Informationen am Bildschirm vorenthalten werden, die sie im zu erwerbenden Buch mit Gewissheit finden werden, werden sie das Buch noch erwerben wollen. Wer auf die Schnelle nur ein Kochrezept aus einem teuer bebilderten Kochbuch der Oberklasse abrufen kann, wird das teure Kochbuch eben nicht mehr kaufen. Analog stellt sich die Frage, ob nicht aus diesem Grunde auch Bibliotheken erwägen werden, angesichts der elektronischen Präsenz teuerer physischer Bücher auf den Erwerb der Letzteren zu verzichten, wohl wissend, dass den Wissenschaftlern im Zweifel einige Mausklicks genügen, um die gewünschte Begriffsrecherche erschöpfend beantwortet zu finden.
4. Vermutlich wird sich aufgrund der genannten Gründe der Buchservice Volltextsuche als heterogen darstellen: Einige Verlage werden gar nicht mitspielen, andere werden ein Buch im Vollzugriff, ein anderes nur zum Teil, ein drittes nur als Metainformation usw. indizieren lassen. Dies wird letztlich ebenfalls die Trefferqualität schmälern, da der Nutzer dann wiederum wissen muss, genau welche Informationen und Texte ihm bei seiner Suche vorenthalten werden. Das gedruckte Sachbuch wird gegen seinen eigenen digitalen Klon ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal brauchen, um weiterhin attraktiv zu sein. 5. Ein solches Alleinstellungsmerkmal würde m.E. maßgeblich durch die Erstellung von gedruckten Registern bereits in der Druckausgabe erreicht werden. Damit würde die Druckausgabe tatsächlich an Wert gewinnen und der Buchkäufer erhielte einen echten Mehrwert. Zum einen spiegelt sich bereits in der Erstellung konventioneller gedruckter Register die zweite digitale Revolution wider: Moderne Registererstellung basiert heutzutage ebenfalls auf der digitalen Verwertung des Volltextes. Zum anderen erfordert das "Registermachen" zugleich die Erbringung jener o.g. sachdienlichen Mehrinformationen wie Verweisungsbegriffe, vernünftige Klassifizierungen, nicht-redundante Begriffsauswahl etc., die nur begrenzt automatisierbar sind und Fachwissen erfordern. Erst diese beiden Komponenten lassen die Indexierung schlussendlich zu einer hochwertigen Aufbereitung sequentieller Information werden. 6. Genau diese Mehr- und Metainformationen, die die vorausgegangene Erstellung eines Print-Vollregisters geliefert hat, lassen sich dann in den Suchalgorithmus der Online-Suche zur Qualitätssteigerung der Treffer einrechnen."

Abstract

We describe Rosetta, an indexing and retrieval system for collections of research papers. Rosetta indexes papers in a collection based on the way they have been described when referenced by other papers in the collection. With this technique, indices for papers describe information provided in the same way a query describes information needed. Using Rosetta, simple natural language queries retrieve high-precision results in which descriptions based on citations clearly summarize retrieved papers; allowing users to quickly determine which papers most closely meet their information needs
