    Abstract
    An indexing language is made more accessible to searchers and indexers by the presence of entry terms or near-synonyms. This paper first presents an evaluation of existing entry terms and then presents and tests a strategy for creating entry terms. The key tools in the evaluation of the entry terms are documents already indexed into the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and an automatic indexer ...

    Abstract
    Connecting and evaluating thesauri is an important task for the systematic development of better information retrieval systems. Connecting thesauri includes not only determining when terms in different thesauri are the same but also determining what kinds of relationships can be transferred from one thesaurus to another. This paper first presents issues in connecting and evaluating thesauri. Various experiments in connecting a particular thesaurus, the Medical Subject Headings, with other medical thesauri are described. In these experiments, similar terms in two thesauri are recognized and then differences in two thesauri are exploited to create more powerful thesauri. Part of the evaluation requires the thesaurus to support automatic indexing and retrieving of documents

    Abstract
    Maintaining a thesaurus is a time-consuming task which should go hand-in-hand with the indexing of information and should be supported by software. To connect different document databases their respective thesauri should be related. The most straightforward way to support to support this by computer is to map the terms of one thesaurus to those of another. Such a mapping creates one kind of metathesaurus. As citation systems are extended to include full-text online, a new thesaurus may be used to index individual paragraphs. To illustrate these principles several computer systems are described which help people maintain thesauri and metathesauri. Particular success has been had by the National Library of Medicine with its Medical Subject Headings and its Unified Medical Language System
