Abstract

Since the days of Cutter, there is an unnumbered good indexing systems formulated for English language documents such as Kaiser’s Systematic Indexing, Ranganathan’s Chain Indexing system, Ganesh Bhattacharya’s POPSI, Dereck Austin’s PRECIS and so on. But in Indian languages, there is no standard subject indexing system formulated.
