Theoretical Foundations of Thesaurus-Construction and Some Methodological Considerations for Thesaurus-Updating

Kim, Chai

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 24, 2, 148-156, Mar-Apr 73

Two concepts crucial to any theoretical foundation of thesauri and two techniques for systematic updating of a thesaurus are presented for consideration. (46 references) (Author/KE)
