Abstract

Considering the intermediary nature of the Information Organization processes, it is important to point out the ethical components in this context, specially the ones related to Information Retrieval. In this way, this study has the aim to explore two concepts − exhaustivity and specificity − in indexing which can be moving from simple Information Retrieval measures to indexer’s ethical values. This study has the goal to analyse the concepts exhaustivity and specificity as ethical values in Information Organization applying the content analysis method proposed by Bardin (2008). The results discussion was developed in a way which could present a scheme stressing the ethical dimensions associated with exhaustivity and specificity in indexing, concluding that these characteristics can be seen beyond mere measures, because they affect directly information retrieval, establishing quantity and quality of representative terms, regarded this way, as ethical values for indexing.
