1. Less Than Full-Text Indexing Using a Non-Boolean Searching Model.

Author

Cleveland, Donald B.

Abstract

Relative effectiveness of indexing using full-text or less than full-text was tested using non-Boolean, chaining type of file structure and searching method. Indexing was done using titles, abstracts, full-text, references, and various combinations; Goffman's indirect method of information retrieval was used to structure and search file. Twenty-eight references are listed. (Author/EJS)

Abstract

This paper reports a technique which expands W. Goffman's Indirect Method search strategy by using means other than index terms to reflect document content. The four basic measures of document relatedness were: (1) Index terms, (2) Journals in which the documents appeared, (3) Closeness of the authors of the documents and (4) Closeness of citations. In the experiment a distance function between documents is defined, based on the properties of the documents themselves. The proximity between pairs of documents is then determined by calculating the Euclidean distance. Based on the results of this experiment, authors or authors with journals are the best measures of document relatedness. This aspect should be explored further. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
