Thesaurus construction
Speaker: Stella Dextre Clarke
Date: 21-22 June 2004
Location: London
Fee: £650.00 + VAT
The thesaurus is enjoying a revival now that the development of e-content
has exposed the limitations of full text searching. Even with today's most
sophisticated software, some types of retrieval pose problems that can be
addressed only by a controlled vocabulary. But is a thesaurus really the
right solution for your application? And if so, what kind of thesaurus would
be appropriate?
This two day course addresses the fundamental questions of whether and how
to build a thesaurus, how to adapt it for specific needs and how to plan the
work that will be involved. As convenor of the Working Group that is
currently revising the British Standards for thesauri, the course leader
will inject latest thinking, such as adapting thesaural practices for
taxonomies. Practical exercises reinforce the principles and there will be
opportunities to raise and discuss the practicalities of your own situation.
If you are responsible for the decision to embark on a controlled
vocabulary, and/or for implementing the decision, this course will lead you
to efficient and effective working methods. Likewise, if you are building a
taxonomy, a good grasp of thesaurus techniques will take you a long way
forward.
