Deep Indexing During 2005/6 CSA developed a new “deep indexing” method to extract tables and figures from journal articles, index each table and figure, provide a retrieval method to locate tables and figures or complete articles that contain relevant figures or tables, and link them back to the article. Each table and figure extracted from a journal article is assigned index terms as appropriate for the type of the table or figure (photograph, histogram, map, etc.) subject indexing, geographic, taxonomic, statistical indexing, and other relevant data using an automated indexing system. All tables and figures in an article are fully indexed and can be searched separately אמיר מערכות מידע תלתן 96 יבנה טל נייד

Why Index Tables And Figures?  They contain important and valuable information Figures and tables represent the distilled essence of research - the closest thing to raw datasets Figures and tables represent the distilled essence of research - the closest thing to raw datasets  Researchers want access to data  They are invisible An image of the figure or tableAn image of the figure or table Category (Graph, Satellite Image…)Category (Graph, Satellite Image…) Subject, taxonomic, geographic andSubject, taxonomic, geographic and statistical descriptor terms taken from statistical descriptor terms taken from caption, data caption, data Article citation with link to full abstractArticle citation with link to full abstract Full captionFull caption Units for subject variablesUnits for subject variables Variable labels and surrounding textVariable labels and surrounding text Link to full textLink to full text Deep Indexing will provide: אמיר מערכות מידע תלתן 96 יבנה טל נייד
