Abstract

Until now, the meaning of terms in most of thesauri has been indirectly presented through relationships and scope notes. However, as thesaurus has been expanded quantitatively, it has become difficult to understand meaning of terms clearly using those relationships and scope notes. Though some thesauri take the form of 'thesaurus dictionary' in order to present the meaning of descriptors, the contents and forms of provided definitions are not satisfying. As standardized definitions of terms integrate into thesaurus on the basis of necessity of definitions providing meaning of terms, this study has shown a possibility for further development of thesaurus.

지금까지 대부분의 시소러스에서 용어의 의미는 주로 관계나 범위주기를 통해 간접적으로 제시되어 왔다. 그러나 시소러스가 양적으로 팽창해짐에 따라, 이들을 통해 용어의 의미를 명확히 파악하는 것이 점차 어렵게 되었다. 이에 일부 시소러스는 사전의 정의를 함께 수록하기도 하였지만, 그 내용이나 형식이 만족스럽지 않은 것으로 인식되어 왔다. 이 연구는 용어의 의미를 제공하는 정의의 필요성을 토대로 표준화된 정의를 시소러스에 통합해 봄으로써, 시소러스가 더욱 발전할 수 있는 가능성을 제시하였다.
