ESTABLISHMENT OF CHINESE CHARACTER INDEX IN AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT ASSEMBLY

The automatic editing with the improvement of content and efficiency becomes urgent, especially for the dictionaries and thesauruses, as they possess regular formats and immense size. However, Chinese characters and words do not have definite alphabetic orders as English words are, it’s always difficult and time consuming to establish the index in the process of compilation. We propose an approach to establish automatically index of entries through Chinese phonetic alphabets and radicals, and then present the new model of index system based on the definition of basic index. Our method can facilitate structuring an automatic editing system and greatly raise the efficiency of compilation.
