post-coordinated indexing
A technical term in information retrieval and library science. Refers to indexing where concepts are combined at search time rather than at indexing time. Rare outside specialized computing literature.
This system uses post-coordinated indexing to enable flexible searching.
Pre-coordinated indexing, where concepts are combined at indexing time, is the opposite approach.
A compound of 検索時 (at search time), 概念 (concept), 組合せ (combination), 索引 (indexing), and 作業 (operation). The term is a direct translation of the English 'post-coordinated indexing'.
