‭UNIT-2‬

‭Preordination and Linkages‬

‭ reordination‬‭refers to the arrangement of items in‬‭a‬


P
‭predetermined order based on a specific criterion or set of‬
‭criteria. This is often used in hierarchical structures where the‬
‭relationships between items are defined in advance.‬

‭ inkages‬‭are the connections or relationships between‬‭different‬


L
‭items or nodes in a structure. In the context of information‬
‭organization, linkages help to establish how different pieces of‬
‭information relate to each other.‬

‭Example:‬

‭●‬ ‭Preordination:‬‭In a library catalog, books are preordained‬


‭by their classification according to the Dewey Decimal‬
‭System. Each book has a predefined place based on its‬
‭subject matter.‬
‭●‬ ‭Linkages:‬‭Hyperlinks on a website create linkages‬
‭between different pages, allowing users to navigate related‬
‭content easily.‬

‭Exhaustivity and Specificity‬

‭ xhaustivity‬‭refers to the extent to which all relevant‬‭aspects of‬


E
‭a subject are covered. In indexing, exhaustivity means including‬
‭as many relevant terms as possible to describe a document‬
‭comprehensively.‬

‭ pecificity‬‭refers to the level of detail provided‬‭in the‬


S
‭description or indexing of a subject. Higher specificity means‬
‭using more precise and detailed terms.‬

‭Example:‬

‭●‬ ‭Exhaustivity:‬‭An exhaustive index for a research paper‬‭on‬


‭climate change would include all related terms such as‬
‭ lobal warming, greenhouse gases, carbon emissions, sea‬
g
‭level rise, and renewable energy.‬
‭●‬ ‭Specificity:‬‭A specific index for the same paper might‬‭use‬
‭precise terms like "anthropogenic carbon dioxide‬
‭emissions" instead of just "carbon emissions" or "solar‬
‭photovoltaic technology" instead of just "renewable energy."‬

‭Summary‬

‭●‬ ‭Preordination and Linkages:‬‭Preordination involves‬


‭arranging items in a specific order based on predefined‬
‭criteria, while linkages refer to the connections between‬
‭these items. Both concepts are essential for organizing and‬
‭navigating information.‬
‭●‬ ‭Exhaustivity and Specificity:‬‭Exhaustivity focuses‬‭on‬
‭covering all relevant aspects of a subject, while specificity‬
‭emphasizes the level of detail in describing those aspects.‬
‭Balancing exhaustivity and specificity is crucial for‬
‭effective indexing and information retrieval.‬
