Delphi technique helps managers and decision makers to make better forecasts and advice. This method recognises
human judgments as legitimate and makes useful inputs in generating forecasts and also that the judgment of a
number of informed people is likely to be better than the judgment of a single individual who may be misinformed
or highly biased. Thus, the Delphi technique is a way of allowing only those interactions to occur that are likely to
improve the quality of a forecast or decision.
The Delphi Technique has been widely used to generate forecasts in technology, education and other fields. It may
also be possible to apply this technique as an evaluation technique in case a situation demands.

Intellectual Property.
Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions; literary and artistic works; designs; and
symbols, names and images used in commerce.
IP is protected in law by, for example, patents, copyright and trademarks, which enable people to earn recognition or
financial benefit from what they invent or create. By striking the right balance between the interests of innovators and
the wider public interest, the IP system aims to foster an environment in which creativity and innovation can flourish.
Patent
A patent is an exclusive right granted for an invention, which is a product or a process that provides, in general, a new
way of doing something, or offers a new technical solution to a problem. To get a patent, technical information about the
invention must be disclosed to the public.
In principle, the patent owner has the exclusive right to prevent or stop others from commercially exploiting the patented
invention. In other words, patent protection means that the invention cannot be commercially made, used, distributed,
imported or sold by others without the patent owner's consent.
Patents are territorial rights. In general, the exclusive rights are only applicable in the country or region in which a patent
has been filed and granted, in accordance with the law of that country or region.

Copyright is a legal term used to describe the rights that creators have over their literary and artistic works. Works
covered by copyright range from books, music, paintings, sculpture and films, to computer programs, databases,
advertisements, maps and technical drawings.
Literary works such as novels, poems, plays, reference works, newspapers and computer programs; databases;
Architecture; and
Copyright protection extends only to expressions and not to ideas, procedures, and methods of operation or
mathematical concepts as such. Copyright may or may not be available for titles, slogans, or logos, depending on
whether they contain sufficient authorship.
In most circumstances copyright does not protect names.
There are two types of rights under copyright: economic rights allow the rights owner to derive financial reward from the
use of his works by others; and moral rights are the rights to claim authorship of a work, and the right to oppose
changes to the work that could harm the creator's reputation.
Most copyright laws state that the author or rights owner has the right to authorize or prevent certain acts in relation to a
work. The rights owner of a work can prohibit or authorize:
its recording (“fixation”), for example, in the form of compact discs or DVDs;
Trademark
A trademark is a sign capable of distinguishing the goods or services of one enterprise from those of other enterprises.
Trademarks are protected by intellectual property rights.
At the national/regional level, trademark protection can be obtained through registration, by filing an application for
registration with the national/regional trademark office and paying the required fees. At the international level, you have
two options: either you can file a trademark application with the trademark office of each country in which you are
seeking protection, or you can use WIPO’s Madrid System.
In principle, a trademark registration will confer an exclusive right to the use of the registered trademark. This implies
that the trademark can be exclusively used by its owner, or licensed to another party for use in return for payment.
Registration provides legal certainty and reinforces the position of the right holder, for example, in case of litigation.
The term of trademark registration can vary, but is usually ten years. It can be renewed indefinitely on payment of
additional fees. Trademark rights are private rights and protection is enforced through court orders.
A word or a combination of words, letters, and numerals can perfectly constitute a trademark. But trademarks may also
consist of drawings, symbols, three-dimensional features such as the shape and packaging of goods, non-visible signs
such as sounds or fragrances, or colour shades used as distinguishing features – the possibilities are almost limitless.
Industrial design
An industrial design constitutes the ornamental or aesthetic aspect of an article. A design may consist of three-
dimensional features, such as the shape or surface of an article, or of two-dimensional features, such as patterns, lines
or colour.
Industrial designs are applied to a wide variety of products of industry and handicraft: from technical and medical
instruments to watches, jewellery, and other luxury items; from house wares and electrical appliances to vehicles and
architectural structures; and from textile to leisure goods.
Industrial designs are what make a product attractive and appealing; hence, they add to the commercial value of a
product and increase its marketability.
When an industrial design is protected, this helps to ensure a fair return on investment. An effective system of protection
also benefits consumers and the public at large, by promoting fair competition and honest trade practices.
Protecting industrial designs also helps economic development, by encouraging creativity in the industrial and
manufacturing sectors and contributes to the expansion of commercial activities and the export of national products.
In most countries, an industrial design must be registered in order to be protected under industrial design law.
Depending on the particular national law and the kind of design, an industrial design may also be protected as an
unregistered design or as a work of art under copyright law. In some countries, industrial design and copyright
protection can exist concurrently. In other countries, they are mutually exclusive: meaning that once the owner chooses
one kind of protection, he can no longer invoke the other.
Under certain circumstances an industrial design may also be eligible for protection under unfair competition law,
although the conditions of protection and the rights and remedies ensured can be significantly different.
Geographical indication
A geographical indication is a sign used on goods that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities, a
reputation or characteristics that are essentially attributable to that place of origin.
Most commonly, a geographical indication includes the name of the place of origin of the goods. For example,
agricultural products typically have qualities that derive from their place of production and are influenced by specific
local factors, such as climate and soil.
Geographical indications are more than just a name or a symbol. They reflect a reputation strongly linked to
geographical areas of varying sizes, thus giving them an emotional component. A geographical indication’s reputation is
a collective, intangible asset. If not protected, it could be used without restriction and its value diminished and eventually
lost.
A geographical indication right enables those who have the right to use the indication to prevent its use by a third party
whose product does not conform to the applicable standards. For example, in the jurisdictions in which
the Darjeeling geographical indication is protected, producers of Darjeeling tea can exclude use of the term “Darjeeling”
for tea not grown in their tea gardens or not produced according to the standards set out in the code of practice for the
geographical indication.
However, a protected geographical indication does not enable the holder to prevent someone from making a product
using the same techniques as those set out in the standards for that indication. Protection for a geographical indication
is usually obtained by acquiring a right over the sign that constitutes the indication.
Appellations of origin and GIs both require a qualitative link between the product to which they refer and its place of
origin. Both inform consumers about a product’s geographical origin and a quality or characteristic of the product linked
to its place of origin. The basic difference between the two terms is that the link with the place of origin must be stronger
in the case of an appellation of origin.
The quality or characteristics of a product protected as an appellation of origin must result exclusively or essentially from
its geographical origin. This generally means that the raw materials should be sourced in the place of origin and that the
processing of the product should also happen there. In the case of GIs, a single criterion attributable to geographical
origin is sufficient, be it a quality or other characteristic of the product, or only its reputation. Moreover, the production of
the raw materials and the development or processing of a GI product does not necessarily take place entirely in the
defined geographical area.
These approaches involve differences with respect to important questions, such as the conditions for protection or the
scope of protection. On the other hand, two of the modes of protection — namely sui generis systems and collective or
certification mark systems — share some common features, such as the fact that they set up rights for collective use by
those who comply with defined standards.
Broadly speaking geographical indications are protected in different countries and regional systems through a wide
variety of approaches and often using a combination of two or more of the approaches outlined above.
These approaches have been developed in accordance with different legal traditions and within a framework of
individual historical and economic conditions.

The Nineteenth Century Index – the most comprehensive and dynamic source for discovering nineteenth-century books,
periodicals, official documents, newspapers and archives.
C19 Index draws on the strength of established indexes such as the Nineteenth Century Short Title
Catalogue (NSTC), The Wellesley Index, Poole's Index, Periodicals Index Online and the Cumulative Index to Niles'
Register 1811–1849 to create integrated bibliographic coverage of over 1.7 million books and official publications, 70,000
archival collections and 22.7 million articles published in over 2,500 journals, magazines and newspapers. C19 Index now
provides integrated access to 13 bibliographic indexes, including more than three million records from British Periodicals
Collections I and II, together with the expanded online edition of the Dictionary of Nineteenth-Century Journalism (DNCJ).
Periodical publishing in the 19th century was both voluminous and multifarious. Any and all aspects of contemporary
thought were represented through this burgeoning medium, from which many eminent novelists and journalists emerged.
The scholarly importance of this material created an imperative to provide indexes through which it could be accessed.
Poole's own subject index was created in response to this need. However, until 1965 and Wellesley, there was no author
index. The primary objective of Wellesley was to assist scholars in assessing the significance of periodical articles by
delivering accurate information on provenance. This was a monumental undertaking, given that the vast majority of
articles published in Victorian periodicals were anonymous or pseudonymous.
Wellesley then, is an index to the authorship of articles, and a bibliography of articles written by each contributor, and
using each pseudonym. Citations of evidence are provided to support attributions of authorship, along with brief
biographical and vocational details. 45 important monthly and quarterly titles are included, covering the period from the
beginning of the Westminster Review in 1824 to the end of the century. The exception to this is the Edinburgh Review,
which is indexed from first issue, in 1802. Wellesley does not index poetry.

The Wellesley Index to Victorian Periodicals was originally published by the University of Toronto Press, in 5 volumes
between 1965 and 1988. Editor Walter Houghton was assisted by a staff team, a board of editors, and by librarians and
scholars from around the world. A CD-ROM edition of Wellesley was published by Routledge in 1999, incorporating
corrections and additions to the index published in the Victorian Periodicals Review up to the end of 1997. It is this CD-
ROM version on which The Wellesley Index online is based, with data reproduced under licence from Taylor & Francis
Group, an informa business.
Corrections and additions to Wellesley published in Victorian Periodicals Review and elsewhere have been indexed by
Eileen Curran and made available through the Victorian Research Web (http://victorianresearch.org/). The Curran
Index continues to be updated, and includes information on some additional periodicals not covered in the
original Wellesley. Curran is essential for keeping up to date with recent research into the authorship of Victorian
periodical articles, and it has now been integrated with the online Wellesley Index. Additions and corrections
from Curran have been appended to the relevant article, contributor and periodical records from Wellesley, while new
records have been created for Curran entries without a corresponding Wellesleyrecord. The full Curran Index can be
viewed using the Browse screen.
The Wellesley Index provides seamless linking between article records, contributor and
pseudonym records, and periodical introductions, and includes links to article full text for selected titles in Periodicals
Archive Online and British Periodicals for users with the appropriate subscriptions. Click here for more information on

Cutter’s Rules for Dictionary Catalogue 1876
It was Charles Ammi Cutter who first gave a generalised set of rules for subject indexing in his Rules
for a Dictionary Catalogue (RDC) published in 1876.
Cutter never used the term ‘indexing’; he used the term ‘cataloguing’.
Kaiser’s Systematic Indexing, 1911
Developed by Julius Otto Kaiser
It is a systematized alphabetical subject heading practice
Kaiser was the first person who applied the idea of Cutter in indexing micro documents in the library of
Tariff Commission as its librarian
He categorized the component terms into two fundamental categories: (1) Concrete and (2) Process.
Concrete refers to l Things, place and abstract terms, not signifying any action or process; e.g. gold,
India, Physics, etc.
Process refers to
*Mode of treatment of the subject by the author
*An action or process described in the document
*An adjective related to the concrete as component of the subject. In short, Kaiser’s achievements regarding
subject indexing are:
categorization of composite terms through classificatory approach for the first time;
a general rule of order of precedence, i.e. the ‘process’ term should follow the ‘concrete’ term;
definition of those terms, of which ‘process’ is identified properly, that is, he gave the
characteristics of ‘process’ by which it can be identified properly;
double entry system for a subject dealing with place/locality; and elaborate system of references.
Chain Indexing
Developed by Dr. S. R. Ranganathan
It is also called / known as “chain procedure”
It is a method of deriving alphabetical subject entries from the chain of successive subdivisions of
subjects needed to be indexed leading from general to specific level
According to Ranganathan, chain indexing is a “procedure for deriving class index entry (i.e. subject
index entry) which refers from a class to its class number in a more or less mechanical way.”
The term ‘chain’ refers to a modulated sequence of subclasses or isolates
Relational Indexing
devised by J. E. L. Farradane in 1950
This indexing systems also known as the “System of Relational Analysis”
Two or more isolates linked by relational operators
Relational operators are special symbols which link the isolates to show how they are related and each
operator is denoted by a slash and a special symbol having unique meaning
Farradane’s marked improvement in the area of subject indexing was:
** analysis of relationship among terms;
** use of relational operators; and
** one to one relationship among analets.
Coates’s Subject Indexing
Developed by E. J. Coates
From the contributions of Cutter, Kaiser and Ranganathan, the concept of Term Significance was
drawn
Coates has developed the idea of Thing and Action like Kaiser’s Concrete and Process
PRECIS (PREserved Context Index System)
Developed by Dereck Austin in 1974
an alternative procedure for deriving subject headings and generating index entries for British National
Bibliography (BNB) which since 1952, was following Chain Indexing.
Syntax and Semantics of PRECIS
PRECIS consist of two inter-related sets of working procedures:
1. Syntactical
2. Semantic.
The PRECIS is based on two principles
1. Principle of Context Dependency
2. Principle of One-to One Relationship
to achieve the principle of context-dependency, Two-Line-Three-Part entry structure is followed in
PRECIS
Formats of PRECIS Index : There are three kinds of format in PRECIS:
1. Standard Format,
2. Inverted Format and
3. Predicate Transformation
COMPASS (Computer Aided Subject System)
In 1990, it was decided to revise UKMARC and to replace PRECIS by a more simplified system of
subject indexing As a result Computer Aided Subject System (COMPASS) was introduced for BNB
from 1991.
POPSI (POstulate-based Permuted Subject Indexing)
Developed by Dr G Bhattacharyya, 1984
Post- Coordinate Indexing Systems
2:50 PM Post- Coordinate Indexing Systems No comments
Uniterm indexing system
Martimer Taube devised the Uniterm indexing system in 1953
to organise a collection of documents at the Armed Services Technical Information Agency (ASTIA) of
Atomic Energy Commission, Washington
The system is based on concept coordination
Uniterm indexing system had a number of distinctive characteristics:
1. Indexing by single words only;
2. Terms are extracted from the text of the document indexed;
3. No control over those terms;
4. Indexing, being reduced to word extraction, can be conducted by relatively
5. low-level personnel.
Optical Coincidence Card / Peek-a-boo
Peek-a-boo is the trade name of the optical coincidence card.
It is also called ‘Batten Cards’.
Edge-Notched Card
Indexing on Edge-Notched card is based on punched card system. Their value is limited to very small
collection
AUTOMATIC INDEXING
Keyword Indexing
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of USA is said to be the first organization to use the machine-
produced keywords index from Title since 1952
use of computers in generating indexes of documents started from KWIC indexing
KWIC indexing
KWIC indexing developed by H.P. Luhn
use of computers in generating indexes of documents started from KWIC indexing
American Chemical Society established the value of KWIC after its adoption in 1961 for its publication
‘Chemical Titles’:
This index was based on the keywords in the title of a paper and was produced with the help of
computers
Each entry in KWIC index consists of three parts:
a) Keywords: Significant or subject denoting words which serve as approach terms;
b) Context: Keywords selected also specify the particular context of the document (i.e.
usually the rest of the terms of the title).
c) Identification or Location Code
Variations of KWIC i.e KWOC and KWAC
1. KWOC (key-word out-of-context)
The KWOC is a variant of KWIC index. Here, each keyword is taken out and
printed separately in the left hand margin with the complete title in its normal
order printed to the right
2. KWAC (key-word Augmented-in-context) Index
** KWAC also stands for ‘key-word-and-context’.
** KWAC is also called enriched KWIC or KWOC.
** CBAC (Chemical Biological Activities) of BIOSIS uses KWAC index
Other Versions of keyword index
KWWC (Key-Word-With-Context) Index
KEYTALPHA (Key-Term Alphabetical) Index : Keytalpha index is being used in the ‘Oceanic
Abstract’.
WADEX (Word and Author Index). It is an improved version of KWIC. It is used in ‘Applied
Mechanics Review’. AKWIC (Author and keyword in context) index is another version of WADEX.index
DKWTC (Double KWIC) Index : It is another improved version of KWIC
index
KLIC (Key-Letter-In-Context) Index
Glossary
An alphabetically arranged list of the specialized vocabulary of a given subject or field of study, with brief definitions, often appearing at the
end of a book or at the beginning of a long entry in a technical reference work. Long glossaries may beseparately published (example: The
ALA Glossary of Library and Information Science, 1983). Glossaries are also available online (for examples see the British
Library's Digital Catalogue of Illuminated Manuscripts. For a searchabledirectory of online glossaries and topical dictionaries, see Glossarist.
Compare with lexicon and vocabulary. See also:gloss.
Lexicon
Originally, a dictionary of Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, or some other literary language. In modern usage, a specialized dictionary or glossary of
the words of a specific subject or field of study. In linguistics, a list of all the lexical items (lexemes) in a given language. See
also: vocabulary.
Thesaurus
A book of synonyms and near-synonyms in a written language, usually arranged conceptually, although dictionaryarrangement is not
uncommon. The first thesaurus of the English language, published in 1852, was compiled by Peter Mark Roget. For an online thesaurus of
the English language, see Merriam-Webster OnLine.
Also refers to an alphabetically arranged lexicon of terms comprising the specialized vocabulary of an academic disciplineor field of study,
showing the logical and semantic relations among terms, particularly a list of subject headings ordescriptors used as preferred terms
in indexing the literature of the field. In information retrieval, a thesaurus can be used to locate broader terms and related terms if the user
wishes to expand retrieval, or narrower terms to make a search statement more specific. A well-designed thesaurus also enables the
indexer to maintain consistency in the assignment ofindexing terms to documents. Plural: thesauri. See also: controlled vocabulary, lead-in
vocabulary, and metathesaurus.
Dictionary
A single-volume or multivolume reference work containing brief explanatory entries for terms and topics related to a
specificsubject or field of inquiry, usually arranged alphabetically (example: Dictionary of Neuropsychology). The entries in a dictionary
are usually shorter than those contained in an encyclopedia on the same subject, but the word "dictionary" is often used in the titles of works
that should more appropriately be called encyclopedias (example: Dictionary of the Middle Ages in 13 volumes). See also: biographical
dictionary.
A language dictionary lists the words of a language in alphabetical order, giving orthography, syllabication,
pronunciation,etymology, definition, and standard usage. Some dictionaries also include synonyms, antonyms, and
brief biographicaland gazetteer information. In an unabridged dictionary, an attempt is made to be comprehensive in the number of terms
included (example: Webster's Third New International Dictionary). An abridged dictionary provides a more limited selection of words and
usually less information in each entry (Webster's New College Dictionary). In a visual dictionary, each term is illustrated. See also: desk
dictionary and pocket dictionary.
