GB/T 36070—2018 Professional Interpretation of Local Chronicles Index Compilation Rules

The National Standard of the People's Republic of China GB/T 36070—2018 "Local Chronicles Index Compilation Rules" is an important guiding document for the compilation of Chinese local chronicles, aiming to standardize the compilation of new local chronicles indexes. This article will conduct a comprehensive analysis from four aspects: the background of standard formulation, analysis of technical evolution, interpretation of core content and implementation suggestions.

1. Background of Standard Formulation

2. Comparison of Standard Technical Frameworks

The following is a comparison of the technical frameworks of GB/T 36070—2018 and related standards, covering three core dimensions:

3. Interpretation of the core content of the standard

GB/T 36070-2018 standardizes the compilation of local chronicles indexes from multiple dimensions. The following is an interpretation of the key content:

• Index objects and scope: clarify the indexable objects such as names of people, places, and names of institutions, and stipulate the contents that are not included in the index (such as the emperor's reign, road signs and other place names).
• Index method: provide two modes of comprehensive indexing and specific indexing to ensure flexibility and pertinence.
• Index construction process: from demand analysis to proofreading and publishing, a complete technical specification is formed.
• Quality control: emphasize proofreading, reverse checking and strict review before publication to ensure indexing accuracy and retrieval validity.

4. Implementation suggestions and precautions

To ensure the effective implementation of the standard, the following suggestions are put forward:

1. Staff training: Organize professional training for local chronicles compilers and indexers to master indexing rules and techniques.
2. Citation of other standards: Refer to GB/T 3860—2009 "Document Subject Indexing Rules" and other documents during the implementation process.
3. Application of information technology tools: Develop or introduce intelligent indexing software to improve efficiency and accuracy.

By strictly following this standard, the retrieval function and academic value of local chronicles will be significantly improved, providing users with more efficient information services.
