Permuted Title Indexes- It helps users decide if that document would satisfy
their information needs.

•Permuted Title word Indexes, created by systematically rotating
information-conveying words in the title as subject entry points into the
index.
•The premise of Permuted Title Index is that titles effectively indicate the
content of documents.

• Weinberg Report ( U.S President’s Science Advisory Committee, 1963)-
recommended that the scientific community be urged to write specific titles
that clearly convey the subject of papers. Information people have always felt
that the title is an important subject indicator and could be the basis of a
useful index.

• The best argument for creating permuted title indexes is simple: it can be
done quickly, with a minimum cost, and entirely by computer.
•The most popular Permuted title indexes are the so-called KWIC and KWOC
indexes.
•KWIC- means key word in context. KWOC- means key word out of context.

Example of KWIC index:

Blue-eyed Cats in Texas
The Cat and the Fiddle
Dogs and Cats and Their Diseases
The Cat and the Economy

The KWIC index is an alphabetical list, ordered on each subject-conveying
word in the title.

      In Texas,     Blue-eyed Cats..................................23
           The      Cat and the Economy........................12
           The      Cat and the Fiddle.............................17
     Dogs and       Cats and Their Diseases.................. 3
    Blue-eyed       Cats in Texas......................................23
     and Their      Diseases, Dogs and Cats....................3
Their Diseases      Dogs and Cats and...............................
       and the      Economy, The Cat...............................12
       and the      Fiddle, The Cat....................................17
             in     Texas, Blue-eyed Cats.....................23
A KWOC Index Doesn’t rotate the title, but lift outs the keyword of
interest and lists its separately to the side.

Example:

Blue-eyed          Blue-eyed Cats in Texas..........................23
Cat                The Cat and the Economy.......................12
Cat                The Cat and the Fiddle............................17
Cats               Dogs and Cats and Their Diseases...........3
Cats               Blue-eyed Cats in Texas..........................23
Diseases           Dogs and Cats and Their Diseases...........3
Dogs               Dogs and Cats and Their Diseases...........3
Economy            The Cat and the Economy.......................12
Fiddle             The Cat and the Fiddle...........................17
Texas              Blue-eyed Cats in Texas..........................23

Permuted title indexes, often use stop-lists. These are words that
are unsuitable as subject indicators. Clearly , such words as the
and an belong on such stop-list.

Although there has been some disillusionment with permuted title
indexes, they still serve a useful purpose.
Faceted scheme is a type of synthetic classification and is often called
an analytico-synthetic system

Facet- means one side of something that has many sides.

Facet Index attempts to discover all the individual aspects of a subject
and then synthesize them in a way that best describes the subject under
discussion

Enumerated System are fixed and can accommodate new knowledge in
limited ways, whereas faceted system are much more flexible.

For example suppose the concept air-to-ground missile was a part of
our knowledge scheme, but not ground-to-air missile.
Example:

AIR-TO-GROUND-MISSILE

But not on the other therm. A book on ground-to-air missiles would have to be
classified under a more general term, such as “Weapons”.

AIR
GROUND
MISSILE

And this would allow us to easily fit to each together each type of the
classification.

AIR-TO-GROUND MISSILE
GROUND-TO-AIR MISSILE
Faceted system is precoordinated at the time of indexing and is arranged
in classification order, rather than in straight alphabetical order.

•S.R Ranganathan, a major pioneer of modern librarianship. began his work in
classification research in 1925 and in the 1930s he published his basic works
in facet classification.


•A facet is a list of words with each term having an exact relation to the
subject of which it is a part. A facet can be forms, or entities, operations,
states of being and so forth.

•The arrangement of the facets is based on assumed user needs and the way
users will approach the system.
We will construct a facet scheme for cats. First, we break our subject into the
concepts that interest us most. For our purpose, we might assume that the facets
are (a) type of cat, (b) color of cat, and (c) IQ of cat.

Next, we list the possibilities under the three facet headings:

         Type                  Color                 IQ
        Abyssinian             white                0-10
         Burmese                black              11-20
        Himalayan               blue               21-30
          Manx                  gray               31-40
         Persian               brown               41-50
         Siamese               green             above 50

Once this is done, we nee a code or notation. To keep things simple, we utilize a
simple numeric code of 1,2,3,..etc, and we have the ff:

          Type                 Color                 IQ
        1.Abyssinian         1 white              1 0-10
        2 Burmese            2 black              2 11-20
        3.Himalayan          3 blue               3 21-30
        4 Manx               4 gray               4 31-40
        5 Persian            5 brown              5 41-50
