Permuted Keyword Bank in CRIS. Terms for Indexing and Retrieving ResearchProjects in the Current Research Information System

摘要

The document is a collection of terms that have been used to index researchprojects in the Current Research Information System (CRIS). It is intended to serve as an authority file for project summaries entered in CRIS, as a source of keywords for retrieval purposes, and as a guide to the subject content and scope of the CRIS file. Containing over 19,000 terms, the list is based largely on the file of 32,000 research projects which resided in CRIS as of May 1991. Including permutations of multi-word terms, the list contains over 31,000 entries. The CRIS database consists of descriptions of research projects conducted or sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the State agricultural experiment stations and land-grant institutions, State forestry schools, Tuskegee University, U.S. schools of veterinary medicine, and participants in the competitive research grants program of the Department. Projects on human nutrition research of other Federal agencies are also included in CRIS. These are maintained in the HNRIMS (Human Nutrition Research and Information Management System) subfile of the database.
