2018 IEEE Thesaurus Version 1.0 Created by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 2018 IEEE Thesaurus The IEEE Thesaurus is a controlled The IEEE Thesaurus also provides a vocabulary of almost 10,100 descriptive conceptual map through the use of engineering, technical and scientific terms, semantic relationships such as broader as well as IEEE-specific society terms terms (BT), narrower terms (NT), 'used for' [referred to as “descriptors” or “preferred relationships (USE/UF), and related terms terms”] .* Each descriptor included in the (RT). These semantic relationships identify thesaurus represents a single concept or theoretical connections between terms. unit of thought. The descriptors are Italic text denotes Non-preferred terms. considered the preferred terms for use in Bold text is used for preferred headings. describing IEEE content. The scope of descriptors is based on the material presented in IEEE journals, conference Abbreviations used in the Thesaurus: papers, standards, and/or IEEE organizational material. A controlled BT - Broader term vocabulary is a specific terminology used in NT - Narrower term a consistent and controlled fashion that RT - Related term results in better information searching and USE- Use preferred term retrieval. UF - Used for Thesaurus construction is based on the ANSI/NISO Z39.19-2005(2010) standard, Guidelines for the Construction, Format, and Management of Monolingual Controlled Vocabulary. The Thesaurus vocabulary uses American-based spellings with cross references to British variant spellings. The scope and structure of the IEEE Thesaurus reflects the engineering and scientific disciplines that comprise the Societies, Councils, and Communities of the IEEE in *Refer to ANSI/NISO NISO Z39.19-2005 addition to the technologies IEEE serves. (R2010) Sections 5 through 8 for detailed information on controlled vocabularies, IEEE has developed its controlled display formats, usage and spelling, and vocabulary through consultation with subject selection criteria for descriptors matter experts (specialists in a particular (http://www.niso.org/publications/ansiniso- field) and specialists in information analysis. z3919-2005-r2010-guidelines-construction- The IEEE Thesaurus thus provides a format-and-management-monolingual) controlled vocabulary of subject headings to help people categorize or search for engineering and computing concepts, especially IEEE published content.
