It is to be used in conjunction with the indexing manual 1) and the thesaurus 2) for the preparation of INIS input by national and regional centrea. The thesaurus and terminology charts in their first edition (Rev.0) were produced as the result of an agreement between the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom). Except for minor changesq the terminology and the interrela- tionships btween rms are those of the December 1969 edition of the Euratom Thesaurus 3) In all matters of subject indexing and ontrol, the IAEA followed the recommendations of Euratom for these charts. Credit and responsibility for the present version of these charts must go to Euratom. Suggestions for improvement from all interested parties. particularly those that are contributing to or utilizing the INIS magnetic-tape services are welcomed. These should be addressed to: The Thesaurus Speoialist/INIS Section Division of Scientific and Tohnioal Information International Atomic Energy Agency P.O.

EUR 500e, Part 1 Dec. 1969 _1 PREFACE The INIS: Thesaurus is accompanied by a set of terminology charts. This form of graphic representation was developed for and used in the Euratom Nuclear Documentation System. The first set of charts was published in 1964; it omprised 42 so-called "arrowgraphs". The second edition was issued in 1967, in a modified format which gave more emphasis to specific terms. The present displays which was prepared by the staff of Euratomq can be considered as the third version of the charts; they also display the hierarchical relationships between specific descriptors. There is a correspondence between the thesaurus and the terminology charts, Every descriptor of the thesaurus can be found in its semantic context in the ohartBq and every term of the charts can be located in its alphabetic position in the thesaurus. The thesaurus should be used to check the status of known specific wordsq whereas the harts will be consulted to select the appropriate representation of now words or concepts. European Atomic Energy Community Center for Information and DooumeMation June 1970 2 INTRODUCTION The purpose of the terminology harts is to display the descriptors of the thesaurus in the context of their hierarchical and other semantic relationships* Hierarchically related terms are grouped in clusters, each representing one of the principal oncepts of a subject field. The descriptors are gouped around or under the broadest term of the clusters which is printed in upper ase. The hierarchical relation- ships within the lusters are shown by the arrangement of the terms in smaller boxes within the larger boxes ircumscribing the clusters. The lusters are onnected by lines of various thicknesses, representing the other (mostly non-hierarohioal) relationships. These onnections are the equivalent to "see also" and "related term" cross-references. The thiolmess of the lines represents the strength of the semantic relations org in the practice of a retrieval BSteMV the probability that one termg rplacing a connected term in a query, will still yield pertinent references, The figures aompanying the descriptors represent their frequency of assignment to the first 9879000 documents stored in the Buratom system (May 1970). They are presented in order to show the relative importance of the dscriptors within the subject field. The asterisks (* acompanying descriptors i the harts refer to descriptors, for which a sope note an be found in the INIS: Thesauras 1) at the time the harts went to press. 1) IAEA-INIS-13(Rov.0) (INISs Thesaurus) - 3 - Related descriptors located in other pages are mentioned in the margin of fhe charts. The accompanying figures are the chart numbers wherein these descriptors can be found in their semantic context. Forbidden (non-descriptor) terms representing synonyms, abbreviations or Bpelled-out versions of descriptors, will be found in the same cluster or sub-cluster as the preferred descriptors; they are preceded by a minus sign. Forbidden terms representing homographs will be found in several clusters corresponding to their various meanings; they are placed between brackets. The charts do away with the need for extensive cross-referencing, and the number of scope notes defining the conceptual coverage of the descriptors can be kept lowg since the scope of many terms is indicated by their semantic ontext in the charts. The charts will allow the indexer to find the most appropriate descriptor to represent the oncept referred to in a document. In the process of query formulation the charts make it easy to locate all the appropriate terms9 i.e. all the terms which may have ben assigned to relevant pieces of literature. Also, in the process of thesaurus modification and updating all inconsistencies in the generic structure can be easily spotted in the harts.
