========================================================================= Date: Tue, 1 Jun 1993 13:15:23 ECT Reply-To: Indexer's Discussion Group Sender: Indexer's Discussion Group From: Lisa Guedea Subject: Thesaurus/CV software ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Related to the earlier question about indexing software for the MAC, I'm interested in thesaurus construction and maintenance software for the MAC. I've done some looking in the indexing and library/information science literature, as well as in the standard software review sources, and come up dry. It seems that even on the DOS/IBM-compatible side of the world, software for building and maintaining controlled vocabulary and all the various relationships between terms -- especially in a manner that allows interactivity with a separate database/automated index into which the vocabulary is being entered -- is limited to a handful of programs. Is anyone out there using something like this in a MAC environ- ment? Actually, is anyone using thesaurus design software in _any_ environment who would be willing to share a useful tidbit or two about the program they're using? I'm particularly interested in off-the-shelf or slightly-customizable packages. Lisa Guedea 414-563-9571 Corporate Librarian Fax: 414-563-7395 The Highsmith Company, Inc.

Indexing Research announced at the ASI annual conference that they are working on a version of Cindex for the Mac. No release date yet, but you might want to contact them. Jessica Milstead ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 2 Jun 1993 14:00:35 ECT Reply-To: Indexer's Discussion Group Sender: Indexer's Discussion Group From: Carl Sandstrom Subject: Thesaurus construction software (DOS) ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Thanks to all who responded with advice and samples for the form and content of thesaurus entries. The samples were very helpful. Now that we have the thing just about written, we are interested in finding a DOS-based program that will allow us to import our WordPerfect file and help speed the process of registering all the common hierarchy relationships: broader, narrower, related terms and use and used for. Although this is probably an FAQ that has been answered before, we would appreciate being pointed in the direction of such software. Thanks in advance.

Apparently the Mac version will have some enhancements that won't be possible on the DOS versions (but CINDEX is ALREADY wonderful--what better things could there be?)
