Information resources and technologies provider ProQuest, US, has announced that it has incorporated its patent-pending Deep Indexing technology, pioneered with the company’s Illustrata offerings, into selected natural science, technology, and engineering subject-oriented databases. Deep Indexing will surface data from more than seven million tables and figures found in over 5,500 academic journal articles.
Deep Indexing technology categorises data represented in tables, maps, charts, graphs, photographs and other figures, allowing researchers to surface data not previously included in traditional article-level index records. ProQuest has now combined Deep Indexing with the traditional article level indexing to offer users a more robust and relevant results set.
Journal articles with Deep Indexing are further enhanced with thumbnail images, or full images where available, giving a quick preview of the image(s). An illustration is available at http://www.proquest.com/assets/downloads/corporate/deepindexing.pdf.
