THE DISPLAYS OF A THESAURUS

Abstract

The paper attempts to describe several display techniques for a thesaurus, including the kinds of displays for hierarchy, categorization, permutation, and semantic and syntactic relationships. Where possible some intuitive discussion is included on displays which appear to be of more utility to the indexer or the retriever. Included also is a brief discussion of the impact of the computer, especially in term of the assistance the computer offers to file update and maintenance, and the impact of on-line terminals for display.
