The profession of indexing and the technology of XML have only begun to realize their value to each other. First, it is important to distinguish two quite different types of indexing, closed-system indexing (such as traditional back-of-the-book indexing) and open-system indexing (generally used to classify documents in a collection), and to distinguish these from the indexing behind the ‘search’ function we take for granted on computers and theWeb. Through its ability to delineate the structure of information, to navigate that structured content, and to associate metadata with it, XML makes it possible to dramatically improve all three types of indexing and to enable them to work together in powerful and useful ways. Beyond simple ‘extracted’ or ‘embedded’ indexes, ‘integrated indexes’ use XML to associate indexes produced with professional standalone indexing software and the content being indexed at a very granular level.

Indexers need to know about metadata and content management systems, first because although more and more companies are implementing systems that need proper metadata associated with them, there is a dearth of people with expertise in metadata development. Second, creating metadata uses the basic skills of concept identification and term selection that are central to indexing, although those choosing to move into metadata creation will also need to acquire a new skill set and become familiar with a new set of tools.

The literature of indexing frequently cites a bill proposed in Parliament that every book be required to have an index. An American legal handbook includes statutes mandating the compilation of indexes to marriage records. The serendipitous discovery of these laws stimulated research on other mandated indexes. These exist in numerous domains. The statutes vary in specificity regarding types of index entries and quality of indexes. Implications of mandated indexes for indexers are discussed.

This article surveys the history of database indexing and considers its current state and future prospects. It reviews the pros and cons of computerized searching, the rise and fall (and possible rise again) of private databases, and methods of framing and normalizing queries.

The article describes two indexing applications using Open Source software. The underlying software is the same. A simple stand-alone application for beginners is described in detail. A more sophisticated approach is then sketched out.
