Machinelike indexing by people

Christine Montgomery and Don R. Swanson

American Documentation, 1962, vol. 13, issue 4, 359-366

Abstract: A study of several thousand entries in a classified bibliography of article titles (the Index Medicus) revealed that a large proportion of the title entries contained words identical to or synonymous with words of the corresponding subject heading. It is inferred that a major part of the bibliography studied could have been compiled by a machine procedure operating on titles alone, provided the machine were supplied with a suitable synonym dictionary.
