This is an excellent review of indexing and metadata tagging of ebooks and digital media. It proves fruitful from my efforts in HTML indexing in 1998 onwards.
This is a great collection of articles on a crucial current issue - the provision of quality indexes - and the work required of indexers - for digital materials, especially ebooks.
