As contemporary thesauri have become large and complex, it is increasingly difficult to assess the intended meaning of each one of the terms. Thereby the meaning of many descriptors seems to be very similar, and it is often not possible to distinguish among them and to identify the term correctly. Purpose of this article is to induce definitions of descriptors in thesaurus by specifying the characteristics of each concept, locating it in the domain and providing clear and prescriptive information on the meaning of each descriptor in the form of a standardized terminological definition. In this study, a small prototype thesaurus using definition of term in the field of information industry in Korean Standards has been developed. In this thesaurus definitions are written for each descriptor with the help of a proposed defining model and in accordance with defining rules borrowed from the field of terminology. In addition, elements of analyzed definition have been included in the relation structure of descriptors. It is revealed that terminological definition added to thesaurus may permit extraction of separate items of information from definitions for the representation of knowledge structures and makes it easier to confine the scope of descriptors to be included in thesaurus in a given subject field.

The purpose of this study is to analyze and systematize the semantic relationships in knowledge organization systems(KOS) . For this purpose, Classification systems, thesaurus, subject headings, semantic networks, ontology, databases were analyzed in terms of the semantic relationships between terms. Also, various kinds of the terminological relationships not only in the current KOS but in the theoretical researches were collected and analyzed. In addition, six proposals were suggested for the organized system of the terminological relationships for the future uses.

The purpose of this study is to present the limitation of terminological relationships in the current information environment and to propose a solution to result in the richer and refined terminological resources. For this, various kinds of terminological relationships in knowledge organization systems and theoretical researches were collected and analyzed. Based upon the analysis, a methodology for classification of terminological relationships was suggested and classification models were presented. Additionally, four suggestions were made for the practical uses of the classification models.

To maintain consistency of terms in information retrieval process, it is necessary to present the meaning of terms definitely in thesaurus. Therefore, most of thesauri has presented meaning of terms through basic relationships or scope notes. But. thesaurus including standardized definitions in contents and form has been proposed lately. This study was performed to make standardized definitions and extract relationships in contents of defining models. Also, expanded thesaurus was constructed being integrated and replaced standardized definitions and extracted relationships into the existing thesaurus. As the result. this study has shown a possibility for further development of thesaurus.

The purpose of this study is to present a scheme to encode all possible lexical entities in dictionaries, glossaries, encyclopedias, and thesaurus, etc. First, it discussed the nature and structure of dictionaries. Second, two current major terminological data encoding schemes, MARTIF and TEI were analyzed in terms of their flexibility for extension to encompass all lexical entities. Third, an integrated microstructure of dictionaries was presented and compared with the MARTIF and TEI for print dictionaries. Then, the need and 17 suggestions for extended MARTIF and TEI formats were addressed with specific cases, which combined with the suggestions from two studies concerning MARTIF and TEI DTD modification for the markup of Korean dictionary entries.
