Indexing rec.sport.disc
Adam Shire
rec.sport.disc community.
I am going to create a subject-index to threads from rec.sport.disc,
probably going back to Nov, 2001, when 10th edition rules went into
effect. Im going read a ton of threads, and, based on the overall
discussion in the threads, assign one or more subject headings to each
one.
I'll put all of this into a database, and then generate a sweet
webpage where you can look up your topic of choice, either
alphabetially (like in the back of a book), or hierarchially (like
yahoo).
I realize that you can search the postings by keyword, however, my
index will be beneficial, for example, if you want to read ALL the
discussions about the traveling rule, but dont want articles about
traveling to a foreign country.
Even if you think this index is pointless, its just for a school
project, so don't worry, Im doing most of the work anyway. All I need
from you is a list of topics I should include in the index.
Add to this list:
1. Anything dealing with the rules
2.

Wiggity
etc...) could each be indexed, maybe in a sub-index, with past years
teams, results, commentary available.
6. Photos. Maybe a sub-index of the Major Tournaments. Many rabid fans
and people less familiar with the game would benefit from a photo site
index.
Wiggity
MedMen
Fetch
6. School Assignments
7. Tournaments / Tournament Info
8. Shit talking
Sounds like you got your work cut out for you. Hopefully we can all use it.

busy in the library all spring and can still make it to practices.
are you gonna use the dewey decimal system to catagorize things too?
glad to see the profession of librarian is still going strong in a
world that is relying so much on other sourses of knowledge.
