Study On Indexing/Tagging And Controlled Vocabularies In Five Spanish Newspapers

This research comes from a major issue, knowledge organization at Spanish newspapers, with two main aims. First, the way its contents are analysed, indexed and tagged. Second, the use of controlled vocabularies, its presence, main features and implementation is studied. A survey was conducted among some news librarians from El Pais, El Mundo, ABC, La Vanguardia and Heraldo de Aragon. Some indexing and tagging variations were found, and there is a relation to SEO techniques. Controlled vocabularies are also applied, although there are some differences among those media.
