Chemical Indexing (CI) Applied to records from 1987
Controlled indexing for inorganic chemical compounds & material systems
Searching problems:
Nonstoichiometry, e.g. Ga1-xAlxAs
Case insensitivity, e.g. CO or Co, GaP or gap
Common words, different meanings, e.g. Be = beryllium & beta emission line (variable
star)
Basic roles el: element bin: binary system ss: 3 or more components
Additional roles dop: dopant int: interface sur: surface/substrate ads: adsorbate
Chemical Indexing
Co/el
CO/bin C/bin O/bin
V2O3/bin V2/bin O3/bin V/bin O/bin
H2SO4/ss H2/ss SO4/ss H/ss S/ss O4/ss O/ss
Examples
Search format:
substance (adjacent) role
proximity operator
substance (adjacent) role ....
Examples:H2SO4 ci h2so4/ss
He-Ne ci he/bin n3 ne/bin
GaAlAs ci ga/int n5 al/int n5 as/int
Chemical Search Format
Numerical Indexing (NI)
Applied to records from 1987
Controlled indexing for numerical data Variations in quantities
velocity, speed standardised to velocity
Variations in units
C, Celsius, °C, K, Kelvin, F standardised to K
Variations in values
27,500 kW 27.5 MW 2.75 E07 W standardised
to 2.75 E07
Numerical Indexing FormatSearch example: temperature of 100 ºC
From the Numerical Thesaurus
quantity unit
temperature K
Exponential (Floating) notation (Explained in the Thesaurus)
3.73E+02
value
Numerical Indexing Examples Frequency of 50 Hertz
Search as: “frequency 5.0 e+01 Hz” wn NI
Time of 10 minutes Search as:
“time 6.0E+02 s” wn NI
Temperature of 100 degrees Centigrade Search as:
“temperature 3.73 e+02 k” wn NI
Note {} or “” can be used to enclose the numerical search statement
Astronomical Object Indexing (AI)
Applied to records from 1995
Uniquely identify millions of stars, nebulae & galaxies
Types of objects covered: Objects in constellations Galaxies in the Local Group Objects in catalogues Objects with only positions
Objects not covered: Solar system objects (meteorites, the Moon, the Sun,
planets & satellites, comets, asteroids) – because they move
