The indexing languages and techniques were ~ u ~ e y e d for Korean textual databases, and retrieval effectivenesses of two indexing languages were evaluated in an online searching experiment. It was found that most of the Korean textual databases surveyed employ natural language indexing by either an automatic or a manual method, and that natural language indexing may outperform controlled language indexing if appropriate search strategies are employed.

Index is a systematic guide to items contained in, or concepts derived from, a collection, Thus, it is represented as a paired set of index terms (t) and documents (D) : I= {(t,D) vertical bar t .mem. V, D .mem. W), where V is index vocabulary and W is document collection. Indexing is the process of analysing the informational content of records of knowledge and expressing the informational content in the language of the indexing system. It involves: 1) Selecting indexable concepts in a document; and 2) expressing these concepts in the language of the indexing system (as index entries): and an ordered list. Indexing process involves technical, semantic and syntactic problems. Technical problems are related to the accuracy of indexing, which is primarily governed by the indexer's ability of analysing subject, identifying indexable concepts, and coding. The proper levels of indexing exhaustivity, and index language specificity are also significant factors affecting the quality of index. Semantic problems are related to the choice of index terms and the form in which they should be used. Equivalent, hierarchical and affinitive/associative relationships of index terms are involved. Syntactic problems are largely related to the coordination of index terms. This process of coordination arises from the need to be able to search for the intersection of two or more classes defined by terms denoting distinct concepts. Finally, most valuable aspects of alphabetical subject indexing theories and practices are derived from those of Cutter, Kaiser, Ranganathan, Coates, Lynch and Austin, and discussed in details.

An indexing language were studied to construct the sentences and paragraphs providing system aided to write a Korean or English composition. The indexing language includes the index terms like noun, predicate, and adverb. and also various index symbols. The subject name and the keyword Included the symbols, which Indicate the connectives between clauses in a sentence, is used as the access point. The search results show this system will be effective with large database and developed retrieval methods.

The purpose of velop the indexing algorithm of secondary legal information by the study of characteristics of legal information, to compare the indexing system using controlled vocabulary to the indexing system using natural language in the secondary legal information full-text databases, and to prove propriety and superiority of the indexing system using controlled vocabulary. The results are as follows; 1)The indexing system using controlled vocabulary in the secondary legal information full-text databases has more effectiveness than the indexing system using natural language, in the recall rate, the precision rate, the distribution of propriety, and the faculty of searching for the unique proper-records which the indexing system using natural language fans to find 2)The indexing system which adds more words to the controlled vocabulary in the secondary legal information full-text databases does not better effectiveness in the retail rate, the precision rate, comparing to the indexing system using controlled vocabulary. 3)The indexing system using word-added controlled vocabulary with an extra weight in the secondary legal information full-text databases does not better effectiveness in the recall rate, the precision rate, comparing to the indexing system using word-added controlled vocabulary without an extra weight. This study indicates that it is necessary to have characteristic information the information experts recognize - that is to say, experimental and inherent knowledge only human being can have built-in into the system rather than to approach the information system by the linguistic, statistic or structuralistic way, and it can be more essential and intelligent information system.

The agglutinative nature of Korean language makes the problem of automatic indexing of Korean much different from that of Indo-Eroupean languages. Especially, indexing with compound nouns in Korean is very problematic because of the exponential number of possible analysis and the existence of unknown words. To deal with this compound noun indexing problem, we propose a new indexing methods which combines the merits of the morpheme-based indexing methods and the n-gram based indexing methods. Through the experiments, we also find that the best performance of n-gram indexing methods can be achieved with 1.75-gram which is never considered in the previous researches.

This study was undertaken in order to develop practical automatic indexing techniques suitable for Korean natural language texts. It has taken a modest step toward this goal by developing an automatic syntactico-statistical indexing method and evaluating the method by comparing the resutls with manual indexing. For this experimental study, the Korean text database was constructed manually based on 300 abstracts covering business subject. The experimental results showed that the performance of the automatic syntactico-statistical indexing system was comparable to that of other studies which have compared automatic indexing with manual indexing.

Conventional indexing sytstems support only full-text indexing method for electronic documents and do not use logical structure of documents in retrieval. Most electronic documents are in different formats depending on various systems. Also, they only indicate physical style of the document without considering any logical structure. Thus, in the effort to standardize the exchange of documents. IS0 developed SGML(Stadard Generalized Markup Language) which contains information about logical structure of the documents. In this paper, to resolve the disadvantages of full-text indexing method and to use standard document format. indexing system for SGML document is designed and implemented. In this system, user can assign indexing domain on elements, thus the logical structure of document is reflected in retrieving information. Various retrieval methods can be implemented by using the structural information of the document. In addition, automatic indexing for SGML Hangul document is supported in this system

The recent growth of full-text database operations has brought new opportunities for subject access. The fundamental problem of subject access in the online environment is the indexing language and technology. The purpose of this paper is to identify the characteristics and capabilities of full-text retrieval as compared to traditional bibliographic retrieval. Retrieval performance of indexing languages, full-text systems features achieved so far, and the new role of a controlled vocabulary, are examined. This paper also includes a review of the research on full-text retrieval performance.

Effective indexing systems are required to enhance the performance of full-text retrieval systems. The result of the analysis of index terms selected by human indexers without a newspaper thesaurus indicates that controlled indexing language is necessary for effective and consistent indexing of newspaper articles. In this paper, basic principles are established for keyword selection from Korean newspapers and significant problems identified in the process of developing a newspaper thesaurus are discussed in depth.

Indexes, especially subject indexes, are major tools for information retrieval. To enhance the retrieval effectiveness of subject indexes, the semantic and syntactic relationships of indexing languages are very important elements. This paper examines the afore-mentioned relationships, based on purely the syntax and semantics of Korean language. The outlines of this study are as follows: 1. The characteristics and usages of controlled vocabularies, particularly subject headings lists and thesaury, are reviewed. 2. The semantic relationships, such as equivalence, hierarchical and associative relationships, are defined, and their categories are investigated in detail. Accordingly, the usages of 'See' and 'See also' references are suggested circumstantially. 3. The syntactic relationships are also examined. Particularly, for the syntactic relationships of multiword indexing terms, two kinds of subject entry formats are compared. Since it is more rational for subject headings organized by the principle of context-dependency, the two-fine entry format is recommended for subject indexes. 4. Computerized production techniques of 'See' and 'See also' reference for the semantic relationships of indexing terms are presented. 5. Computerized production techniques of subject indexes representing the syntactic relationships of indexing terms are also presented.
