The Thesaurus is an application that lists a database of terms. Thesaurus Terms can be stand-alone terms or terms linked to one another with relations. A Thesaurus may be used in conjunction with other assets such as a metadata schema, or as a database of terms for reference purposes.
The system consists of two major components:
- Thesaurus: the Thesaurus asset allows the creation of a database of terms, listed in groups of related concepts.
- Thesaurus Term: terms can be added to the Thesaurus and linked together with relations.
The Thesaurus assets can be used for a variety of functions such as:
- Applying metadata
- Creating Related Asset Listings
- Synonym searching
- Abbreviation expansion
