    Chain Indexing or Chain Procedure is a mechanical method to derive subject index entries or subject headings from the class number of the document. It was developed by Dr. S.R. Ranganathan. He first mentioned this in his book “Theory of Library Catalogue” in 1938.
    Relational Indexing devised by J. E. L. Farradane in 1950. This indexing systems also known as the “System of Relational Analysis”.
    Coates’s Subject Indexing developed by E. J. Coates. From the contributions of Cutter, Kaiser and Ranganathan, the concept of Term Significance was drawn. Coates has developed the idea of Thing and Action like Kaiser’s Concrete and Process in 1960.
    PRECIS is a computer assisted pre-coordinate subject indexing system developed by Derek Austin in 1968 as a result of long research which the Classification Research Group (CRG) undertook to give a new general classification for information control.
