ABSTRACT

Methods of displaying thesauri, on paper and on the computer screen, are very varied, and may be categorized in different ways. In this section four types of display are distinguished:

alphabetical displays showing scope notes, and equivalence, hierarchical and associative relationships for each term

hierarchical displays generated from the alphabetical display

systematic and hierarchical displays, showing the overall structure of the thesaurus and all levels of hierarchy

graphic displays of varying sorts
