Computer-aided Document Indexing System

Abstract

An enormous number of documents is being produced that have to be stored, searched and accessed.  Document indexing represents an efficient way to tackle this problem.  Contributing to the document indexing process, we developed the Computer-Aided Document Indexing System (CADIS) that applies controlled vocabulary keywords from the EUROVOC thesaurus. The main contribution of this paper is the introduction of the special CADIS internal data structure that copes with the morphological complexity of the Croatian language. CADIS internal data structure ensures efficient statistical analysis of input documents and quick visual feedback generation that helps indexing documents more quickly, accurately and uniformly than by manual indexing.
