The effort that goes into writing a book, building a website or compiling a data collection can be enormous.
It requires research, data analysis and the mental leap from facts and ideas to a theory or proposal.
All that hard work can be lost if the information resource created lacks structure or designated access points for users.
- A non-fiction book requires an index to guide the reader to points of interest or the researcher to details sought after.
- A web resource requires an architecture that allows the client to navigate through the content in a logical manner.
- A data collection requires metadata to provide context and improve record retrieval.
Indexes, taxonomy classification, metadata and controlled vocabularies (including thesauri), and logic-based architecture are all methods of ensuring that the full value of your book, website or data collection can be realized and appreciated by your readers, site visitors or users.
Information can be hard to find. It shouldn’t be. Black Cat Indexing can fix that.
