Ex. Descriptors are terms which are acceptable for use in indexes to describe concepts.

Ex. The MEDLINE thesaurus, available online and ondisc, provides a complete list of all descriptor terms (i.e. the controlled vocabulary used in the subject indexing of all Medline citations).

Ex. He also allows Christian names accompanied by an epithet (Aunt Jane, for example) to be used as headings for the main entry.

Ex. This access is achieved by organising the tools so that a user may search under a specific access point or heading or index term, for example, subject term, author, name, title, date.

Ex. In alphabetical indexing languages, such as are embodied in thesauri and subject headings lists, subject terms are the alphabetical names of the subjects.

Ex. These summaries are a valuable aid to classification by ensuring that the classifier finds the correct discipline rather than a catchword in the index.

Ex. During searching the index user is expected to formulate headings in the same way, and hopefully to match his subject description with the indexer's description.

Ex. The Permuterm index (as featured in Science, and Social Sciences Citation Indexes) is similar to a Double-KWIC index in that it provides for simple coordination of index words.
