indeksilised

Indeksilised is an Estonian adjective used to describe something related to an index or to indexing. The term derives from indeks (index) and the common adjectival suffix -ilised, which marks a characteristic or relation.

In information management and library science, indeksilised objects are items that have been assigned an index or stored in indexed form to facilitate retrieval. This includes bibliographic records in catalogs, searchable documents, and database entries that are optimized through indexing. The process of creating indeksilised records is indexing, which aims to speed searches, improve accuracy, and support sorting and categorization.

In linguistics and semiotics, indeksilised signs describe indexical signs whose interpretation depends on context. They encode information about time, place, or the identity of a speaker or referent. Examples include demonstratives such as this and that, personal pronouns like I and you, and temporal-adverbial expressions such as now or then. The term highlights how meaning shifts with situational context rather than solely with the linguistic content.
