Indexing Services
Indexing is a process in which the key descriptors representing the core theme of a research paper or the chapters of a book are extracted and such a paper or chapter is tagged with these descriptors. Such descriptors are known as keywords that are actually present in the paper or the chapter (keyword indexing).
At CPS, we offer the following three types of indexing services:
- Subject Index
- Name Index
- Combined Index
Data Conversion/ Accessibility Services
CPS prepares content for electronic distribution by converting it into structured formats such as XML, SGML, and HTML. We provide the following conversion services:
- Conversion of books, periodicals, magazines, journals, legacy materials of scientific publishing, legal documents, newspapers, and so on into mark-up languages (SGML, HTML, XML and other customized mark-up languages) with exceptional accuracy in mark-up, formats, and characters
- Conversion of any electronic inputs (Frame Maker, InDesign, QuarkXPress, PDF, etc.) into other electronic outputs such as XML, HTML, SGML, ePUB, Word, PDF with accessibility enablement
- Multiple-language support, including Syrian, Hebrew, Arabic, Spanish, Russian, French, German, Latin, and Greek
- Structuring of transliterated material
- Digital library conversions, such as ONIX, METS, MARC, and XML and high-volume conversions using OCR, OWR, line, word, and text block coordinates.
Document Indexing Services
Data from manuscripts, databases, print, previous editions, and other media are captured using proprietary software, scan and OCR, and/or double-pass keying, depending on the source. Our document indexing process involves sorting of data and entering them into a new or an existing database. The final output becomes enhanced data, which simplifies the usability, search, and retrieval functions and reduces the duplication of documents.
