Literary Warrant in Legal Information Retrieval

The following is a basic concept of Literary Warrant in relation to information retrieval. In addition to this, Literary Warrant may be applied to legal texts, including case law, legislation and scholarly works. Literary warrant simply means that the vocabulary of indexed or cataloged documents should be accepted as terminology for index headings, descriptors, or preferred terms in thesauri, because it is warranted (authorized) through actual usage in documents. Literary warrant is complemented by user warrant.
