Title

¬The US Trade Representative (USTR) trade thesaurus : development, innovation and use

Abstract

Describes the background and context for the development of a trade related thesaurus in the Office States Trade Representative (USTR) and discusses thesaurus construction and the approach to thesaurus use in this government agency. During this process a strong end user orientation has been emphasised. The on-line USTR Trade Thesaurus has been integrated into several in-house data bases, including WordPerfect (WP), the USTR word processing system. A WordPerfect indexing card system permits users to assign up to 5 indexing terms from the Thesaurus during the normal WP exiting and saving procedure. Users may add proposed new terms directly into a system or suggest thesaurus modifications directly on-line by completing an 'add' or 'modify' screen.
