Indexing
Indexes are data structures that improve retrieval speed for data in a database. They work by sorting field values and storing pointers to records, allowing for faster searching. Indexes should be used on fields involved in searches, joins, or with high cardinality. There are different types of indexes including clustered, non-clustered, unique, non-unique, bitmap and full text. Indexes are created using SQL commands and their information can be displayed and deleted as needed.

This document discusses different types of keyword indexing systems used for information retrieval, including KWIC (Keyword-In-Context), KWOC (Keyword-Out-Of-Context), and KWAC (Keyword-Augmented-In-Context). It provides examples and explanations of how each system works, including selecting keywords from document titles and presenting them with surrounding context or alone. Advantages are speed of production without indexing staff, while disadvantages include scattered related topics and need for extensive searching.
Subject Indexing & Techniques
This document discusses the basics of subject indexing in libraries. It defines subject indexing as providing subject access to microdocuments like journal articles and research reports by assigning appropriate subject terms. The key points covered are:
- Subject indexing allows users to identify documents on a given subject and find related documents.
- Indexes are helpful for retrieving information from both print and digital collections. They provide subject access through assigned terms.
- Effective subject indexing requires identifying the main concepts in a document and re-expressing them as index terms so the document and terms express the same concepts.
- Principles of indexing include using terminology familiar to users and bringing related documents together under consistent, unambiguous headings. Specificity and exhaustivity must
Subject cataloguing
This document discusses various aspects of subject cataloguing including:
1. It defines subject cataloguing as showing documents on specific subjects possessed by a library and bringing together entries on a subject.
2. It outlines different types of subject catalogues and the objectives of subject entries/cataloguing.
3. It discusses principles of subject entries, problems in deriving subject entries, and methods of subject analysis.
Thesaurus 2101
The document discusses the key aspects of thesauri including their purpose, structure, types of relationships displayed, and evaluation criteria. Specifically, it notes that a thesaurus provides a standardized vocabulary for information retrieval by displaying hierarchical (e.g. broader and narrower terms) and equivalence (e.g. synonyms) relationships between terms. It also discusses how terms are organized in a thesaurus and criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of a thesaurus.
Oyewole Olawale Cataloguing of books
The document discusses cataloguing and classification of information resources. It defines cataloguing as describing resources and linking users to them. There are three main types of cataloguing: descriptive, subject, and classification. Descriptive cataloguing involves bibliographic elements like title, author, and imprint. Subject cataloguing determines the subject heading. Classification schemes like Dewey Decimal Classification are used to systematically organize materials by subject. The document provides an example of fully classifying and cataloguing a book on agricultural practices in Nigeria using elements from the Dewey Decimal Classification Index, schedules, and tables.
Types of indexes
This document discusses different types of indexes, including alphabetical, author, book, citation, classified, coordinate, cumulative, and faceted indexes. It provides details on the defining characteristics and purposes of each type. Alphabetical indexes list entries in one alphabetical order but can have problems with synonyms and scattering of entries. Author indexes use people or organizations as entry points. Book indexes are commonly found at the back of books to locate information. Citation indexes show which papers cite a given paper. Classified indexes arrange contents systematically by classes or subjects. Coordinate indexes allow terms to be combined. Cumulative indexes merge indexes over time. Faceted indexes attempt to discover all individual aspects of a subject.

Hans Peter Luhn was a computer scientist at IBM who created the Luhn algorithm and developed methods for information retrieval. He proposed counting term occurrences in documents to determine relevance. Luhn and his associates produced early keyword-in-context (KWIC) indexes, where each keyword occurrence was displayed in a list with surrounding words. The American Chemical Society adopted KWIC indexing in 1961. KWIC indexes arrange entries alphabetically based on keywords extracted from document titles, with the keyword centered and a location code at the end. While easy to generate automatically, KWIC indexes lack terminology control and some titles can be misleading.

Introduction To Controlled Vocabularies
A basic introduction to taxonomies/controlled vocabularies, what they are and how they are used. Presented originally at the Society of Indexers conference, July 2008.
The search engine index
An index is a database that stores information collected from documents in a way that allows quick retrieval. It maps words to their locations in documents. Different indexing methods exist, including inverted indexes and latent semantic indexing (LSI). Probabilistic latent semantic indexing (PLSI) is an improvement over LSI as it has a stronger statistical model and can handle issues like synonyms and multiple meanings of words better. Creating accurate indexes is important for search engines to return relevant results but it involves challenges like document formatting, language processing, and updating as new information is added.
Indexing languages (2)
Indexing languages help users discriminate between terms and reduce ambiguity. They consist of controlled vocabularies and rules for their use to assist both indexers and searchers. Indexing languages provide consistency in indexing and searching through the control of synonyms and specification of related, broader, and narrower terms.

Guide to Referencing and developing a Bibliography
Important Note for Law Students: Whilst these referencing pages will be useful for most
students, Law students should note they are specifically required to use the OSCOLA
referencing guidelines (Oxford Standard for Citation of Legal Authorities), please see our
OSCOLA guide for detailed guidelines and examples
http://welcome.ohecampus.com/laureate/upload/LawSchoolCitationGuide2009.pdf

https://ilrb.cf.ac.uk/citingreferences/index.html#oscola
Also see our pages on Refworks and other citation software for managing your references
and developing your Bibliography.
What is referencing?
It is very important that whenever you find a reference you immediately make a note of all
the relevant bibliographical (author, title etc) details. It can be very difficult to retrace the
details later and you will need the information to cite the references at the end of your
assignment or dissertation.
When you write your assignment or dissertation you are required to refer to the work of other
authors. Each time you do so, it is necessary to identify their work by making reference to it -
both in the text of your assignment (called 'in-text' referencing) and in a list at the end of your
assignment (called a 'Reference List'). This practice of acknowledging authors is known as
'referencing'.
References must be provided whenever you use someone else's opinions, theories, data or
organisation of material. You need to reference information from books, articles, videos, web
sites, images, computers and any other print or electronic sources. A reference is required if
you:
• paraphrase (use someone else's ideas in your own words)
• summarise (use a brief account of someone else's ideas)
• quote (use someone else's exact words)
• copy (use someone else's figures, tables or structure)

References enhance your writing and assist your reader by:
• showing the breadth of your research
• strengthening your academic argument
• showing the reader the source of your information
• allowing the reader to consult your sources independently
• allowing the reader to verify your data
Always remember to use referencing because if you use someone else's work and don't
reference it correctly, it is plagiarism, which is a serious offence of academic misconduct.

Sherborn: Lyal - Digitising legacy taxonomic literature: processes, products ...
To date, most digitisation of taxonomic literature has led to a more or less simple digital copy of a paper original – the output has effectively been an electronic copy of a traditional library. While this has increased accessibility of publications through internet access, for many scientific papers the means of indexing and locating them is much the same as with traditional libraries. OCR and born-digital papers allow use of web search engines to locate instances of taxon names and other terms, but OCR efficiency in recognising names is still relatively poor, people’s ability to use search engines effectively is mixed, and many papers cannot be directly searched. Instead of building digital analogues of traditional publications, we should consider what properties we require of future taxonomic information access. Ideally the content of each new digital publication should be accessible in the context of all previous published data, and the user able to retrieve nomenclatural, taxonomic and other data / information in the form required without having to scan all of the original paper and extract target content manually. This opens the door to dynamic linking of new content with extant systems – automatic population and updating of taxonomic catalogues, ZooBank and faunal lists, all descriptions of a taxon and its children instantly accessible with a single search, comparison of classifications used in different publications, and so on. The means to do this is currently marking up content into XML, the more atomised the mark-up the greater the possibilities for data retrieval and integration. Mark-up requires XML that accommodates the required content elements and is interoperable with other XML schemas, and there are now several written to do this, particularly TaxPub, taxonX and taXMLit, the last of these being the most atomised. Building on earlier systems for mark-up of legacy literature ViBRANT is developing a new workflow and seeking to increase the automated component of the process. Manual and automatic data and information retrieval is demonstrated by projects such as INOTAXA and Plazi. As we move to creating and using taxonomic products through the power of the internet, we need to ensure the output, while satisfying the requirements of the Code, is fit for purpose in the future.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
