data indexing  

Definition

  • Stripped of its numerous complexities, data indexing is the high-tech version of the tedious indexing process familiar to any 20th-century textbook author and results in the same benefits for the reader. The major difference is that computers are doing both the indexing and the accessing of the indexes. [Source: Encyclopedia of Geography; Data Indexing]
