Deep Indexing Of Data Summaries Would Make Them
Visible And Retrievable

• Deep Indexing involves
• Identification of tables and figures (images,
  charts, maps, etc.) found within a scholarly

• Extraction and indexing of data surrounding the
  table or figure to provide indexing for each
  image

• Full caption
• Article citation with link to full abstract
• Category (Graph, Satellite Image, )
• Subject, taxonomic, geographic and statistical
  descriptor terms taken from caption, data
  variable labels and surrounding text
• Units for subject variables
