課程概述

Introduction to the fundamentals of indexing and abstracting in theory and practices, from a information representation perspective. Topics covered include subject analysis, vocabulary control, types of abstracts, multimedia indexing, metadata, as well as the basic attributes of indexing (e.g. specificity, exhaustivity, and degree of coordination).

Emphasis is placed on the relationships between indexing attributes and information retrieval, the comparison between human and machine indexing, the principle of user-centered indexing, and display of indexes in a networked environment.

Each group will choose a domain of knowledge and 1. Introduce and analyze a existing controlled vocabulary in that domain. 2. create a simple thesaurus using a thesaurus editing software. The thesaurus should contain about 60 terms and demonstrate all the semantical relationships.

For the final project, each group will design an index display for a bibliographic database according to the specifications listed below. The index display is designed to facilitate users browse the collection. The collection can be either real or imaginary, but the documents included in the database have to be real.
