Thesaurus Master™

The language of your enterprise reflects its scope and content, calling for a specialized taxonomy to ensure efficient, effective management of that content.

Whether you develop this vocabulary (term list, authority file, thesaurus) yourself or obtain it whole or in part from external sources, Data Harmony's Thesaurus Master™ thesaurus management software puts you in control of the entries, the hierarchy, and the conditions of use.

Thesaurus Master lets you:

  • Create and/or import the terms you use
  • Define the scope of use in the rulebase
  • Fine tune and refresh your definitions easily as terms evolve
  • Maintain hierarchical consistency while adding terms at any level
  • Link directly to automatic indexing and your documents

Advantages include:

  • Increased consistency in indexing
  • Increased productivity for human editors
  • Increased relevancy of retrieval and higher recall of relevant documents
  • Reduced misses and noise
  • Greater satisfaction for database users

Thesaurus Master also:

  • Operates independently in managing your structured taxonomies
  • Accommodates formal thesaurus structure of Broader Term, Narrower Term, Use and Used For refs, History, Related Terms, and Scope Notes
  • Enables restricted access to maintenance controls for database integrity
  • Can be used in conjunction with M.A.I. (Machine Aided Indexer) and XIS™ (XML Intranet System) to enhance your knowledge management capabilities
  • Adheres to thesaurus standards ISO 2788 (monolingual), ISO 5964 (multilingual), and NISO Z39.19

The Notation feature in Thesaurus Master lets you also order your terms as you wish - process order, chronological order, outline order, sequence order, conventional order.

Thesaurus Master streamlines all aspects of thesaurus utilization: development, construction, management, and maintenance. Building a thesaurus - made easy!
