A generalized computer method for index production

Claire K. Schultz and Phyllis A. Schwartz

American Documentation, 1962, vol. 13, issue 4, 420-432

Abstract: This paper presents block diagrams for the process of Index‐making by computer, as well as explanatory text, based on experience in the application of the diagram to the production of two different indexes. The method described is called a generalized method because, first of all, its presentation is in general terms, and secondly, because its property of generality makes it suitable to a “first‐cut” analysis of a great variety of index‐making applications. More detailed flow charts for two different applications (one of them proposed) of the generalized method are given, as well as a diagram for combining an information retrieval system with a system for index production.
