= extent, incidence, issue, number, numeral, percentage, tally [tallies, pl.], scale.

Ex. The extent of searchable elements will vary from one data base to another.

Ex. The number of entries in pre-co-ordinate system will depend upon the incidence of references and multiple entries.

Ex. This is an issue devoted in part to papers presented at the conference arranged and hosted by the State Library of New South Wales.

Ex. The headings will be arranged according to the filing sequence of the notation (for example, alphabetically for letters or numerically for numbers).

Ex. Records can be retrieved by character strings (that is, sequences of letters and numerals).

Ex. But those institutions, and I am referring particularly to public libraries, serve a very large percentage of the nation's library users.

Ex. As the various parts of the record are entered, the document summary indicates the additions by the tallies opposite the record parts.

Ex. I have a feeling that all our old technologies are getting progressively more expensive and more inefficient, and that all our new technologies are getting progressively cheaper and more efficient because of questions of scale.
