Thesauri
In 2003 NISO is launching an initiative to revise the leading standard for thesaurus construction: ANSI/NISO Z39.19, Guidelines for the Construction, Format, and Management of Monolingual Thesauri.
This revision will address the needs of a changing information environment and a changing audience for this Standard. Searching and browsing of information systems are no longer limited to librarians, indexers, and other information professionals - individuals of all ages, professions, and nationalities use search tools for education, work and fun. Developers of Internet and Intranet-accessible Web pages, databases, and information systems need better metadata to support non-expert information searches, and metadata developers are recognizing the value of incorporating high-quality, interoperable controlled vocabularies and taxonomies into their schemes.Lots more folks in the library cataloging and classification game, even if they do not speak our language.
