Thesauri
A thesaurus is a vocabulary, usually applied to a special subject area. Thesauri can be alphabetical, or hierarchical, which shows the relationships among terms or keywords, and phrases. It can lead one to broader and narrower terms -- more general categories or specific jargon. These keywords and phrases are usually employed by indexers or authors to describe the content of papers. These terms are additional to, although frequently duplicative of, words or phrases in the titles and abstracts. Sometimes thesauri have scope notes, defining just how and when the term is employed.
