    Abstract
    This research presents an algorithmic approach to addressing the vocabulary problem in scientific information retrieval and information sharing, using the molecular biology domain as an example. We first present a literature review of cognitive studies related to the vocabulary problem and vocabulary-based search aids (thesauri) and then discuss techniques for building robust and domain-specific thesauri to assist in cross-domain scientific information retrieval. Using a variation of the automatic thesaurus generation techniques, which we refer to as the concept space approach, we recently conducted an experiment in the molecular biology domain in which we created a C. elegans worm thesaurus of 7.657 worm-specific terms and a Drosophila fly thesaurus of 15.626 terms. About 30% of these terms overlapped, which created vocabulary paths from one subject domain to the other. Based on a cognitve study of term association involving 4 biologists, we found that a large percentage (59,6-85,6%) of the terms suggested by the subjects were identified in the cojoined fly-worm thesaurus. However, we found only a small percentage (8,4-18,1%) of the associations suggested by the subjects in the thesaurus
