    Abstract
    Beim DIMDI erhalten Sie ab sofort die aktuelle deutsche Übersetzung des Thesaurus Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) 2006 der National Library of Medicine (NLM). Auf Anfrage liefern wir die neue Version 11.0 (Stand 2006) als kostenpflichtige XML-Datei auf CD-ROM. Gegenüber 2005 enthält derThesaurus 933 neue Deskriptoren. Andere wurden nach der aktuellen Terminologie umbenannt, obsolete Benennungen entfielen ganz. Da jede Deskriptorklasse in Konzepte und Unterkonzepte mit zugehörigen Begriffen unterteilt ist, beträgt die tatsächliche Zahl neuer Bezeichnungen etwa das Fünffache. Der laufend weiterentwickelte Thesaurus umfasst jetzt 23.880 Hauptschlagwörter (Main Headings). Zum Vergleich: vor zehn Jahren gab die NLM erst 18.436 Deskriptoren an. Zuwachs verzeichnet vor allem die Kategorie Chemische Substanzen, Drogen und Arzneimittel mit 684 neuen Schlagwörtern. Zahlreiche neue Begriffe enthalten auch die Kategorien Organismen, Krankheiten, Biowissenschaften, Anatomie sowie Analytische, diagnostische und therapeutische Verfahren und Geräte. Neue Deskriptoren sind beispielsweise Kalziumaktivierte Kaliumkanäle mit großer Leitfähigkeit, Tritonia-Meeresschnecke, Mesangiumzellen oder Bariatrische Chirurgie. Das DIMDI übersetzt den MeSH in enger Anlehnung an die amerikanische Vorlage und ist offizieller Herausgeber der deutschen Version (inkl. Urheberrechte). Der Thesaurus ist Bestandteil des UMLS (Unified Medical Language System) der NLM. Übersetzungen liegen auch in Finnisch, Französisch, Italienisch, Portugiesisch, Russisch und Spanisch vor.

    ""A thesaurus is a terminological control device used in translating from the natural language of documents, indexers or users into a more constrained `system language' (document language, information language)". It is also "a controlled and dynamic vocabulary of semantically and generically related terms which covers a specific domain of knowledge". The Joint INIS/EDTE Thesaurus fits this definition adopted by UNESCO.' The domain of knowledge covered by the Joint INIS/ETDE Thesaurus includes physics (in particular, plasma physics, atomic and molecular physics, and especially nuclear and high-energy physics), chemistry, materials science, earth sciences, radiation biology, radioisotope effects and kinetics, applied life sciences, radiology and nuclear medicine, isotope and radiation source technology, radiation protection, radiation applications, engineering, instrumentation, fossil fuels, synthetic fuels, renewable energy sources, advanced energy systems, fission and fusion reactor technology, safeguards and inspection, waste management, environmental aspects of the production and consumption of energy from nuclear and non-nuclear sources, energy efficiency and energy conservation, economics and sociology of energy production and use, energy policy, and nuclear law. The terms in the Joint Thesaurus are listed alphabetically. For each alphabetical entry, a "word block", containing the terms associated with this particular entry, is displayed. In the word block, terms that have a hierarchical relationship to the entry are identified by the symbols BT for Broader Term, and NT for Narrower Term; a term with an affinitive relationship is identified by RT, for Related Term; terms with a preferential relationship are identified by USE or SEE, and OF for Used For, and SF for Seen For. In case of multiple USE relationships for a forbidden term, all listed descriptors should be used to index or search a given concept. In case of multiple SEE relationships, one or more of the listed descriptors should be considered for indexing or searching this concept."

    Abstract
    The Thesaurus of ERIC Descriptors, 14th Edition 2001, has been developed under the auspices of the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) of the National Library of Education, Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI), U.S. Department of Education. Its content reflects ERIC's 34 years of monitoring the educational literature. This 14th edition is the result of ERIC's continued efforts to maintain quality in its controlled vocabulary and to respond to the changing nature of education. As in previous editions, the Thesaurus reflects ERIC's response to the needs of the educational user community. ERIC remains committed to maintaining a Thesaurus that represents the definitive vocabulary for education. The 2001 edition contains 10,773 vocabulary terms, of which 5,963 are main-entry Descriptors and 4,810 are non-indexable USE references or "Dead" terms. New terms not appearing in previous editions include 206 Descriptors and 210 USE references. This edition also reflects several hundred Scope Notes and Cross-reference modifications to earlier Descriptor displays. Again as in the past, the Thesaurus revision has been made possible by the joint efforts and sound judgments of personnel throughout the entire ERIC system responding to both the literature and the users in the field. ERIC vocabulary coordinators, who, as members of the systemwide "Vocabular Review Group," oversee this effort, are listed below.
