ABSTRACT
Our Meta-dex software suite extracts content and index text from a corpus of PDF files, and generates a meta-index that references entries across an entire domain. We provide tools to analyze the individual and integrated indexes, and visualize entries and books within the meta-index. The suite is scalable to very large data sets.

Creating meta-indexes for digital domains
JCDL '11: Proceedings of the 11th annual international ACM/IEEE joint conference on Digital librariesThe back-of-book indexes for test collections of digital books in the domains of Economics and Geology have been deconstructed and analyzed, and the entries aggregated to create domain-level meta-indexes. Metrics comparing the two domains are presented.
...User interface evaluation of meta-indexes for search
JCDL '13: Proceedings of the 13th ACM/IEEE-CS joint conference on Digital librariesIn the Indexer's Legacy Project, we have created meta-indexes for domain-oriented collections of digital books in order to promote searching, navigation and browsing in digital collections. Because the meta-index is a new knowledge structure, we have ...
Dynamic online views of meta-indexes
JCDL '12: Proceedings of the 12th ACM/IEEE-CS joint conference on Digital LibrariesFor a collection of digitized monographs in a subject domain, a domain meta-index provides a summary of domain concepts, and a structured vocabulary to support a scholar's navigation and search. We present a prototype of a Meta-index User Interface (MUI)...
