Analysis and evaluation of the use of the multi-word term in the indexing of a collection of photographic postcards
Abstract
This research proposes to contribute to the study of the multi-word term in the indexation of images, through the analysis of its use in indexing a collection of photographic and illustrated postcards from Library at the University of Coimbra (Portugal), which is dated between 1940-1960, comparing this practice with the forms considered in NF Z 47-200 (1985). It was based on an exploratory qualitative method, based on literature review and an empirical research, at which we used the techniques of content analysis and comparative analysis. The results show that the use of the multi-word term, in general, coincides with the theoretical and methodological principles recommended by NF Z 47-200 (1985), even when they reveal the incoherence and inconsistency in the application of the multi-word term in its structure. It was concluded that it is necessary to apply the norms to harmonize the representation of the specificities of this information resource.
