Providing the right information to the right user at the right time at the right place is
not an easy task. The voluminous information existing in the form of unstructured texts
needs appropriate tools and aids to guide both document lists and end users utilizing
them, and in this process indexing is seen as a tool. Generation of subject indexes
assumes the availability of unstructured text books in compatible machine readable
format obviously published with a front index. One cannot think of any release or
publication without the table of contents. From the mentioned motivational perspective,
the facility of computer-assisted subject indexing is in high demand in community
repositories, especially for the readers as subject domain experts. These also emerge as
facilities where automatic syntactically fetched keyword indexing services rendered by
professional (amateur) indexers become inefficient due to the problems of obvious term
‘synonymy’ and term ‘polysemy’ (Hsinchun et al., 1998; and Yi-Ming et al., 1998). In
computer science and information science, ontology formally represents knowledge as
a set of concepts within a domain, using a shared vocabulary to denote the types,
properties and interrelationships of those concepts (Gruber, 1993; and Raj Kumar and
Prateeksha, 2014). With reference to such research and development, projects are
performed in text mining realm to construct precise and complete back index for any
book available in machine readable format.
