Summary Stats and Unique List For Table Of Contents

Table Of Contents Keyword Breakdown Surface Summary

The following statement is of opinion regarding the building of a Table of Contents

A Table Of Contents should contain keywords acting in a summary capacity, signaling further depth will be presented should the section be referenced addressing the topic promised by the titling of the line items.

A well-structured Table Of Contents is designed to act closer to a dictionary structure in which each coded section takes on the role of a unique word and the description that follows takes on the role of definition.

A Table Of Contents can become keyword heavy and subsequently distracting, such as multiple line item entries for segments applying definition of terminology in the context of the materials contained in the book.  Even if the definitions are going to change segment to segment, there still should be a common set of definitions provided first as one complete segment and then any modifications of the application and use of such terminology being associated with the segment its use is to be constructed and construed differently.

If scope of purpose, intent or some other topic-anchoring feature is present in a high level segment of the structure, such an anchoring technique should be present throughout the document.  To stray away from a users expectation of introductory summary anchored in some places but not in others provides significant built-in subjective elasticity as to general purpose of the segment.

This Table of Contents Keyword Breakdown Summary is for research and educational purposes only and contains an error percentage plus or minus 2% using a copy of the municipal code book located at the Sterling Codifiers website as of February 5, 2011.  It should be noted that the search box provided by the aforementioned website does not appear to allow for any search by keyword of any of the municipal code books being broadcast from its location.

Top 10 Keyword Entries In the Table Of Contents
(Surface reflection – reflexive properties on the surface)

With Definitions and General being generally expected (especially if consistently used throughout the document), Permit, License, Prohibited and Fire are the only repetitive keywords above and beyond the generic operators such as Of, And, To, Or, For and On.  On the surface, this ranking reflects a generic acknowledgement of the role of a governing body, as it is customary for a governing body to provide definition as to what is prohibited, how to apply for licenses and permits, etc.

2.   And              171
3.   To                  51
4.   Or                  45
5.   Permit            40
6.   License          39
7.   Definitions    36
8.   General         33
9.   Prohibited     32
10. Fire               30

10. On                 30

List Of Uniques

Even when an index is present in a book, the list of unique words used to describe the content contained within a document in the Table of Contents should be able to act as a supplementary index if an index is present and a primary index when a separate segment is absent.
