Etymology

The term 'indexation' originates from the Latin word 'index,' which means 'one who points out or indicates.' This term was adopted into English in the late 14th century. However, the specific application of 'indexation' to data management and retrieval systems became more prevalent in the 20th century, particularly with the rise of computing technology. As data began to grow exponentially, the need for efficient retrieval systems led to the development of various indexing methods. Over the years, indexation has evolved to encompass not just traditional data handling but also the indexing of content across multiple platforms, especially the internet. Today, indexation plays a vital role in various fields, including computer science, economics, and library sciences, as it enables quick access to vast amounts of information.
