A indexação é uma prática antiga e um trabalho complexo, nomeadamente no processo de determinação do assunto. Tratando-se de indexação de Literatura ficcional, a questão torna-se mais difícil, devido à subjetividade e à muldimensionalidade da obra literária. Tradicionalmente, a Literatura não é indexada e os sistemas classificatórios abordam-na pela forma/género literário. Ao longo dos últimos anos, foram surgindo instrumentos de indexação por assunto de ficção narrativa que mostram que esta é possível e necessária. Neste cenário, procura-se saber como se estão a comportar os principais serviços e sistemas de informação europeus, no que toca à indexação de narrativas ficcionais. Para tal, realiza-se um estudo de caso exploratório. Os resultados permitem concluir que a maioria dos países não efetua indexação por assunto de narrativa ficcional e aqueles que efetivamente a fazem localizam-se no norte da Europa. São, portanto, necessários mais estudos e instrumentos para que esta prática se generalize.

Prolegomena to Library Classification

Tendências europeias na indexação por assunto de ficção narrativa

Evaluation of retrieval systems is mostly limited to laboratory settings and rarely considers changes of performance over time. This article presents an evaluation of retrieval systems for internal Web site search systems between the years 2006 and 2011. A holistic evaluation methodology for real Web sites was developed which includes tests for functionality, search quality, and user interaction. Among other sites, one set of 20 Web site search systems was evaluated three times in different years and no substantial improvement could be shown. It is surprising that the communication between site and user still leads to very poor results in many cases. Overall, the quality of these search systems could be improved, and several areas for improvement are apparent from our evaluation. For a comparison, Google’s site search function was also tested with the same tasks.

Has Retrieval Technology in Vertical Site Search Systems Improved over the Years? A Holistic Evaluation for Real Web Systems

In this short paper, we conducted a preliminary investigation of how internet memes use knowledge organization concepts in their transmission and communication of messages. Using classification, thesaural relationships, and metadata statements, we examined the employment of knowledge organization in the formula of a common internet meme and how the use of these concepts allowed meme creators to convey their argument.

Information retrieval (IR) is a central task of information science (IS). Traditionally, IR has focused on document retrieval: however, another, long-established approach to IR—that of information analysis—has sought to decompose documents into retrievable units of information. This paper examines the method of information analysis propounded by one of its pioneers, the business librarian Julius Otto Kaiser (1868–1927), and its theoretical presuppositions about the nature of information. Kaiser viewed information almost exclusively in terms of text and recognized that it had both ontological and epistemological dimensions. On one hand, he held that textual information is an entity of some sort and so capable of being indexed: on the other, he deemed it to be both the product, and occasion, of interpretation on the part of author and reader alike. Kaiser’s method of information analysis sought to decompose documents into units of information on the basis of their semantic content, using a documentary language as a tool for demarcating such units. Analysis of this language indicates that it both incorporated objective features of texts (i.e., extracted terms) and gave indexers considerable interpretative leeway in establishing the boundaries of information units. Kaiser’s version of information analysis constitutes an early attempt to take account of both the ontological and epistemological features of information and so enriches our image of the information-analytic approach, which has traditionally been construed as founded in a positivistic. “objective” view of information alone.
