A note on descriptors

Josephine J. Jaster

American Documentation, 1962, vol. 13, issue 4, 433-434

Abstract: A curious inconsistency in the contention that descriptors are different from Uniterms is described. In the actual operation of a descriptor system, Uniterms play an important, if not critical, role. In fact, the descriptor itself is dispensable, its sole purpose being to code Uniterms.
