Automatic Indexing and Abstracting of Document Texts
Automatic Indexing and Abstracting of Document Texts summarizes the latest techniques of automatic indexing and abstracting, and the results of their application. It also places the techniques in the context of the study of text, manual indexing and abstracting, and the use of the indexing descriptions and abstracts in systems that select documents or information from large collections. Important sections of the book consider the development of new techniques for indexing and abstracting. The techniques involve the following: using text grammars, learning of the themes of the texts including the identification of representative sentences or paragraphs by means of adequate cluster algorithms, and learning of classification patterns of texts. In addition, the book is an attempt to illuminate new avenues for future research. Automatic Indexing and Abstracting of Document Texts is an excellent reference for researchers and professionals working in the field of content management and information retrieval.

Automatic Indexing from Machine Readable Abstracts of Scientific Documents
State-of-the-art of machine indexing is reported. Various proposed machine indexing methods are reviewed and evaluated. Methods for comparing machine and human indexing as well as machine indexing systems among themselves are described. Possible approaches to various problem solutions in machine indexing are indicated. The report describes the design of the Formal Autoindexing of Scientific Texts (FAST) system. Characteristics of Uniterm co- ordinate indexes are investigated and generalizations to scientific indexes made. Laws for the formation of words in the indexing language are derived and verified. The operational principles of the FAST system and test results of various system components are reported. Indexes produced by the FAST method are compared with those produced by human indexers for inter-indexer and intra- indexer consistency. A method of formal evaluation of indexes using the information theory approach is presented and applied to the FAST and conventional indexes. It is concluded that the FAST system can produce Uniterm co-ordinate indexes adequate to user's requirements better and faster than human indexers can do.
Software for Indexing
In this thorough inventory of software products used in indexing, professional indexers share their favorite features, tips, and techniques. As one would expect, the major dedicated indexing programs (Authex, CINDEX, MACREX, SKY Index, and wINDEX) are compared, but today's indexers are asked to do more than produce print indexes. They need tools to make indexes Web-compatible: HTML/Prep, HTML Indexer, and RoboHelp are covered. They have to embed indexing entries into originating documents: Framemaker, Microsoft Word, PageMaker, and Ixgen are covered. Voice recognition software is described, and a review of Sonar Bookends provides value for those contemplating automatic indexing. Here is an essential guide for indexers and technical writers desiring to maximize the efficiency of their day-to-day indexing and meet special project needs.

Indexing Books, Second Edition
Since 1994, Nancy Mulvany's Indexing Books has been the gold standard for thousands of professional indexers, editors, and authors. This long-awaited second edition, expanded and completely updated, will be equally revered. Like its predecessor, this edition of Indexing Books offers comprehensive, reliable treatment of indexing principles and practices relevant to authors and indexers alike. In addition to practical advice, the book presents a big-picture perspective on the nature and purpose of indexes and their role in published works. New to this edition are discussions of "information overload" and the role of the index, open-system versus closed-system indexing, electronic submission an...
