ZR on CD Thesaurus is a valuable search aid that helps you select appropriate
terms, ensuring the most comprehensive retrieval. In
ZR on CD, the thesaurus unifies
the vocabulary from 1978 to the present, allowing you to view taxonomic, subject, geo-
graphical and paleontological hierarchical vocabularies and choose broad or specific
terms that meet your searching needs. Use the thesaurus to locate all citations relating
to a particular topic with one search query.
Thesaurus Tools
The
ZR on CD Thesaurus consists of three tools, designed to help you access informa-
tion quickly and efficiently. The names vary slightly depending on which version of
SilverPlatter software you are using. The tools are:
·
The List of Permuted Terms or Permuted Index
·
The Selected Term Details or Term Information
·
The Expanded Trees View or Full Tree View
The List of Permuted Terms or Permuted Index
Is an alphabetical index of all thesaurus terms and their commonly occurring
synonyms, with references to controlled terms; i.e., synonyms are "mapped" to con-
trolled terms with the word "use" (for example:
Food hoarding use Food storing). The
List of Permuted Terms or Permuted Index is the entry point for the thesaurus. This
first screen allows you to browse all the terms that include the entered word. A section
of the List of Permuted Terms is shown in Figure 1.
