1996

We identified, with the support of subject category codes, Slovenian plant-science-and-production- and plant-protection-related documents in the international agricultural database AGRIS for the period 1993-1995. For these documents we separately downloaded all indexer- and computer-assigned descriptors. We sorted the descriptors, calculated the frequency of each descriptor and created two separate lists for both descriptor groups. The lists can be used as a controlled lexical source for authors while writing English language titles, abstracts or articles. They serve as an indicator and scientometric tool for estimation of presence of narrow and broad concepts in the documents over the above period of time. They can provide the indexer with a reference to her/his previous indexing of similar material and can thus enhance indexing consistency and reduce ambiguity. General aim of such presentation of collected controlled terms is to enable a more consistent use of terms for the same concepts by authors and indexers alike and in turn, as a result of higher degree of database consistency, to improve information retrieval by end-users.
