Databases and public access catalogs are being used extensively by
the public and the academic and business communities as major
sources of information. Most users want to access these databases
directly to locate the information they need. Increasingly, users
are demanding user-friendly databases that will assist them in
finding conceptual information effectively. The lack of
compatibility or standardization among many different indexing
vocabularies and thesauri makes it difficult to find related
information in information retrieval systems containing many
different online databases. This book provides a thought-provoking
new perspective on the role of vocabulary control in providing
access to the conceptual information found in online databases and
catalogs. The first three chapters provide a basis for
understanding the structure of vocabulary control systems used for
the indexing of conceptual information. Chapters 4 and 5, which
deal with thesaural relationship model formulation and
investigation, will be of the greatest interest to designers of
online databases and public access catalogs who are striving to
improve access to conceptual information from multiple databases.
Researchers and developers of thesauri, who are faced with the
problems of compatibility and convertibility, will also be
interested in testing the applicability of the thesaural
relationship model for other vocabulary control systems. The
findings reported in chapter six will be of particular interest to
database producers and vendors. Although switching and frequency
online search strategies for database search engines are not yet
available, end-users and experienced searchers can still
incorporate these concepts to improve the effectiveness of their
searches. Recommendations resulting from this investigation are
summarized in the final chapters. With the proliferation of online
databases and the increasing number of inexperienced users, the
development of new search strategies to facilitate easier searches
is critical. This book will be required reading for everyone
involved in this effort.
