re-appraised at intervals in order to assess the most effective way of facilitating the retrieval with the most accurate results. By looking at the main characteristics and principles of both
manual and automated systems the relevant issues can be considered so that a suitable system may be developed. The process, whether manual or automatic, will start with indexing. This
is the way that a representation of the document or text, such as a book or a periodical article, can be represented by classification or association with its content and
subject matter, such as with the title or key word contents; other ways of indexing may also include those of authorship, the bibliographic content of the publication. These may also
be with other classifications that are relevant to the different sources or organisations. To assess whether the manual of automatic indexing is better for an organisation they both need
to be assessed. Where automatic indexing takes place it is the indexing of documents that have been stores digitally, which may be document surrogates, where the indexing takes place without
the need for any human intervention, or, if there is some intervention this is minimal. This type of indexing has its origins based on the work of Luhn
in the 1950s which was based on the Keyword in Context index approach where the words were taken from the titles or abstracts of articles (Soy, 1998). The first
report into the use of data being manipulated by machine in order to index automatically was presented in 1958 at the International Conference on Scientific Information (Soy, 1998). Hans
Peter Luhn along with Phyllis Baxendale are often accredited with the development of indexing in this manner, however Luhn also developed the ideas of auto encoding and auto abstracting (Soy,
