The purpose of this pilot study is to construct a searching thesaurus with word association test in the library and information science field and to confirm it's functionality as searching aids through query expansion experiments. The test results were analyzed to four types of relationship between stimulus words and response words, and the terms of association thesaurus were compared with descriptors of an existing thesaurus. The test results show that the word association test is a fruitful method to identify many related terms and narrower and equivalent terms in some degree to the stimulus terms. Furthermore. in the query expansion experiment. the Performance of association thesaurus was better than that of an existing thesaurus, This result demonstrates that word association thesaurus can apply to query expansion.

The purpose of this study is modeling a user-friendly Korean-Japanese thesaurus for internet circumstances. The methodology had two steps: first, the problems were analyzed when multilingual thesaurus is constructed, with review of various multilingual thesauri and interview with multilingual thesaurus constructor in Korea and Japan. Second, collaborative tags were analyzed to differentiate cultural/linguistic background from word usage pattern. As a result, searching thesaurus model was suggested and applied to develop a user-friendly Korean-Japanese thesaurus.

This study is to develop a new automatic system for the Korean thesaurus browser by which we can automatically control all the processes of searching queries such as, representation, generation, extension and construction of searching strategy and feedback searching. The system in this study is programmed by Delphi 4.0(PASCAL) and consists of database system, automatic indexing, clustering technique, establishing and expressing thesaurus, and automatic information retrieval technique. The results proved by this system are as follows: 1)By using the new automatic thesaurus browser developed by the new algorithm, we can perform information retrieval, automatic indexing, clustering technique, establishing and expressing thesaurus, information retrieval technique, and retrieval feedback. Thus it turns out that even the beginner user can easily access special terms about the field of a specific subject. 2) The thesaurus browser in this paper has such merits as the easiness of establishing, the convenience of using, and the good results of information retrieval in terms of the rate of speed, degree, and regeneration. Thus, it t m out very pragmatic.

The aim of this article is to study the new searching tool for era of multimedia. Thesaurus is a useful tool but is constituted with noun phrase including the adjective for retrieving the human Sensibility. Therefore, I experimentally construct the Sensibility thesaurus using the color scale which contains the Sensibility meanings. Terms are 261, Relation standards are distance and ratio of reiteration between the terms. I would use an exclusive program of the thesaurus construction for Sensibility adjective.

In this paper, we design and implement a system for managing domain specific thesauri, where object-oriented paradigm is applied to thesaurus construction, concept browsing and query-based reference. This system provides an objected-oriented mechanism to assist domain experts in constructing thesauri; it determines a considerable part of relationship degrees between terms by inheritance and supplies domain experts with information available from a thesaurus being constructed This information is especially useful to enforce consistency between the hierarchies of a thesaurus, each constructed by different experts in different sites through cooperation.

This system provides an objected mechanism to assist domain experts in constructing thesauri: it determines a considerable part of relationship degrees between terms by inheritance and supplies domain experts with information available from a thesaurus being constructed. This information is especially useful to enforce consistency between the hierarchies of a thesaurus, each constructed by different experts in different sites through cooperation. It may minimize the burden of domain experts caused from the exhaustive specification of individual relationship. This system also provides an abstracted browsing and a query based reference, which allow users to easily verify thesaurus terms before they are used in usual boolean queries. The verification is made by actively searching for them in the thesaurus. Reference queries and abstracted browsing views facilitate this searching. The facility is indispensable especially when precision counts for much.

This study suggests the establishment and applications of the News core thesaurus for efficient indexing and searching of news information. News core thesaurus was constructed as macrothesauri which can cover all of news subjects and then has microthesauri like politics, economy, society, culture, etc. as its subsets. In this research, News core thesaurus embodied 2,012 descriptors and 74 non-descriptors by SKOS(Simple Knowledge Organization System). It suggests measures that treat only special subjects in detail in weekly newspaper or biweekly newspaper with little information and special subjects, which is not daily newspaper, and use each microthesauri by merging or integrating in huge news archives or portal sites.

Thesaurus, a well-known form of controlled vocabulary, has been widely used for indexing and searching of information during the last 50 years. There also have been developments of international and national standards to provide guidelines for developing thesaurus in diverse subject areas. In recent years, the revisions of thesaurus-related standards have been made. Among them are ISO 25964 and BS 8723. This article examines the current status of revision of these standards, and discusses its implications. Based on this examination, it suggests functional requirements of thesaurus in the present information environment, and also proposes elements needed for the development of these functions.

So far, DW(data warehouse) of hospital has been used as tool for analyzing patient-focused data. However, EMR(Electronic Medical Record) is established these days, so informal data which is record and video record could be useful to get some information for patient remedy, not as DW data. This study claims that need of establishing treatment-focused DW, not for hospital administration-focused DW which has been used lots of hospital DW. Also we discussed how CDW can be applied for real medication situation. At last, we deduct a relation past record of sick and wounded patient as Thesaurus searching method by real hospital data for establishing base of early-treatment system.

This paper deals with the problems of information retrieval through full-test database which arise from both the deficiency of searching strategies or methods by information searcher and the difficulties of query representation, generation, extension, etc. In oder to solve these problems, we should use automatic retrieval instead of manual retrieval in the past. One of the ways to make the gap narrow between the terms by the writers and query by the searchers is that the query should be searched with the terms which the writers use. Thus, the preconditions which should be taken one accorded way to solve the problems are that all areas of information retrieval such as should taken one accorded way to solve the problems are that all areas of information retrieval such as contents analysis, information structure, query formation, query evaluation, etc. should be solved as a coherence way. We need to deal all the ares of automatic information retrieval for the efficiency of retrieval thought this paper is trying to solve the design of thesaurus browser. Thus, this paper shows the theoretical analyses about the form of information retrieval, automatic indexing, clustering technique, establishing and expressing thesaurus, and information retrieval technique. As the result of analyzing them, this paper shows us theoretical model, that is to say, the thesaurus browser by clustering algorithm. The result in the paper will be a theoretical basis on new retrieval algorithm.

The purpose of this study is to design hypertext-based linear displays for an online thesaurus in librarianship and information science with the aid of ISO and ANSI/NISO thesaurus standards. This study starts with the assumptions that hypertext-based online thesauri would provide a convenient and useful subject retrieval tool to both indexers and searchers of information and become starting point for the study of thesauri searching patterns, which were difficult with printed thesauri. For this study, thesaurus of librarianship and information science was stored in MS ACCESS 97 as a relational database and, for the conjunction of a relational database with World Wide Web, technics of ASP(Active Server Pages) were applied under Windows NT operation.
