Evaluation of content analysis which the Brazilian repertories in Agriculture (Agrobase and the Data Base of Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Research), Information Science (LICI), and Law (Brazilian Bibliography of Law) present. After identifying the antecedents, nature, potential users and type of product offered by each of these repertories, a percentage measure of the exhaustive breadth of their coverage was carried out. The tasks related to the evaluation of the indexing and abstracts were made based on a selection of twenty cases for each, which were compared by means of direct inspection with the corresponding originals. A questionnaire was also used to determine the documentary language and the criteria employed to carry out the analysis. Special attention was given to an examination of the indexing and abstract presented in the original, as well as their depth and relevance, measuring where possible the index of consistency. The abstracts were studied in accordance with the transcription of the superstructure of the original and its technical quality, measuring the factors of legibility. The results were presented by means of comparative tables.
