PRELIMINARY NOTE
The Index o f the Yellow Book consists of three parts.
Part I gives the contents of the Yellow Book, in the form of a list of the volumes and fascicles together with their title and corresponding Recommendation Series and Study Groups.
Part II is a list, in alphanumerical order, of all the Recommendations found in the Yellow Book with titles.
Part III is the actual index. Taking advantage of the fact that the texts o f the Yellow Book are stored magnatically, two subsidiary data banks were formed by computer processing based on the main data bank of Recommendation texts: the first to produce the Terms and Definitions and the second for the Index (which is the above-mentioned Part III).
Because of the great amount of information processed, it was necessary to limit the number of references for each of the approximately 5700 index entries in each of the three language versions (Spanish, French, English) of the index. Thus one reference only per Recommendation was retained, and three per fascicle or Recommendation Series for any given index entry.
The references are presented in the following way:
— The Recommendation number or Glossary number (Glos. No. ...) or Supplement number (Sup. No. ...) together with the paragraph number form a reference unit; these units are separated by a semicolon. In the case of a glossary or supplement, the number of the volume or fascicle in which it appears is indicated in parentheses.
— If the index entry is defined, the Recommendation, glossary or supplement number is printed in italics.
— If the index entry comes from an annex to a Recommendation or a supplement, the number of the Recommendation (or supplement) is given, together with the number of the corresponding paragraph of the annex. If the annex does not have numbered paragraphs, then only the letter designating the annex is given after the Recommendation or supplement number.
— In the case of index entries defined in terminology Recommendations followed by a glossary in alphabetical order, only the Recommendation number is given. However, for Recommendation R.140, the reference comprises both the Recommendation number and the number assigned to the term.
— For certain index entries appearing regularly in a section or group of Recommendations, the reference indicates the number of the first and of the last Recommendation of this section or group, separated by a hyphen.
— If the Recommendation where the index entry appears contains divisions and subdivisions, all these indications are given in the reference, in decreasing order of importance, the last indication being that of the paragraph number (e.g. F.1, § A III 1.1).
