Abstract:
The complex conceptual relationships contained in multi-dimensional documents present the problem of inconsistency in subject analysis and vocabulary control for efficient retrieval is stressed. The development of Thesaurus, an important contribution for effective vocabulary control in mechanised IR systems which is among the many developmental efforts in this direction, is highlighted. The development, structure and design of INIS Thesaurus is given in detail. Adaptability of the INIS thesaurus to a computer-based information handling system is examined
