Index:
An alphabetical listing of names, words, phrases (headings), or topics mentioned in the book, with their page numbers. In a traditional back-of-the-book index the headings will include names of people, places and events, and concepts selected by a person as being relevant and of interest to a possible reader of the book. The pointers are typically page numbers, paragraph numbers or section numbers. For serials and journals, the index is usually published after the volume is completed and is usually found in the last issue.



Symbol:
Something such as an object, picture, written word, sound, or particular mark that represents something else by association, resemblance, or convention. For example, a red octagon may stand for "STOP".
