Subject Indexing Principles and Practices in the 90's Proceedings of the Ifla Satellite Meeting Held in Lisbon, Portugal, 17-18 August 1993, and Sponsored by the ifl

As part of a broader effort to formulate a list of principles underlying subject heading languages used in various subject access systems throughout the world, IFLA's Lisbon Satellite Meeting reviewed a broad spectrum of national systems & considered current issues in their development. By examining programs developed in Brazil, Canada, Croatia, France, Germany, Poland, Portugal, Spain, the UK & the US, the papers help to identify which principles each system considers fundamental & implicit & which had to be stated explicitly in usage instructions of subject heading codes. More general topics such as "International Tendencies in Terminology & Indexing", & "Standards & Standardization in Subject Analysis Systems" were also addressed.Holey, Robert P. is the author of 'Subject Indexing Principles and Practices in the 90's Proceedings of the Ifla Satellite Meeting Held in Lisbon, Portugal, 17-18 August 1993, and Sponsored by the ifl', published 1995 under ISBN 9783598112515 and ISBN 3598112513.
