Developing and maintaining indexing thesaurus with descriptions of vocabulary control conventions.
Cygnus supported The Purdue Frederick Company, a Biotech and Pharma company in its specialized mission of pain medication research, by providing indexing, cataloging, and data entry of biomedical reports and journal articles.

- Coding information on the condition of the patient being treated, disease state, experimental parameters, dosage and route of drug administration, length of treatment, adverse drug reactions, observations of drug effects and measurements, therapy other than pharmaceutical, relationships of test compounds, and study design;
- Data entry services for record citations, including bibliographic, indexing, cataloging, and coding information; and
