- Abstract
- Architectural indexing systems are mechanisms used to organize information concerning how and what to build. Architectural indexing systems are a means of organizing available information in a manner that can readily be grasped by the user. As such, architectural indexing systems are an important component part of architectural information systems. This report reviews and summarizes existing architectural indexing systems presently used in the United States and overseas. Indexing systems reviewed are classified into (1) one way divisions, (2) two way divisions, (3) thesauri and others.
