Sažetak
In the future all world information will be available on-line. The on-line Public Access Catalog (OPAC) is a computerized replacement for the traditional card catalog and information users will want on-line access to all information including a variety of abstracting databases. These bases will ease users' information overload. The main purpose of abstracting is to construct representation of published items in a form suitable for inclusion in some type of database. For this purpose abstracts are texts which should be formally well organized, topically relevant and linguistically adequately verbalized. In this respect, language should be viewed less from linguistic perspective, in the sense of grammar, and more as a complex mental activity verbally realized by a text. The linguistic discipline which operates of these assumptions is text linguistics. its 7 standards of textuality can contribute to the efficient deciphering of the text stored in a database.
