Glossary of search terms

Metadata is indexing information about a resource, similar to a library catalogue record of an item. The Metadata only search offers higher precision than full text searching because it operates in a controlled indexed environment.

Full text searching enables a search to be performed on an indexed list of all words taken from the document. Full text searching operates on the whole of the document with an increase in recall and a reduction in precision.

Subject terms are selected from the Australian Thesaurus of Educational Descriptors (ATED) and Schools Cataloguing Information System (SCIS).

Function terms are selected from EQ's inhouse functional thesaurus used to support record keeping systems.
