The integrated use of information retrieval languages in patent search

World Patent Information, 1982, vol. 4, issue 2, 70-74

Abstract: The processing of patent documents by various information agencies leads to the indexing of documents according to several classification or coordinate indexing systems. This multi-lingual indexing has both its advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantages are that more than one information language must be studied and that the search time increases. Besides, the maintenance and use of a multi-lingual system is more costly. The advantages are the possibility of selecting in each case the most efficient language or of making multi-lingual searches. The advantages of multi-lingual patent documentation indexing become more attractive in view of inter-system information exchanges, especially within the framework of international cooperation.
