  • #3: \n
  • #4: A list can be a pick list, an index, an authority file\nAmbiguity Control\nChristine Connors vs. Christine Conners :(\n\nList of food\nWe recently had a long holiday weekend, usually highlighted by barbecues, so let’s start with a list of food: hot dogs, hamburgers, buns, mustard, mayo, ketchup, onions, pickles, chips, salad, cookies, etc etc\n\n-----------\nA synonym ring is what we think Roget’s Thesaurus is.\nSynonym Control (Equivalence Relationships)\nKetchup or Catsup\n\n----------\nHierarchical Relationships\nIs A, Part of type relationships\nWhere would you put the poor tomato?\nTomato - vegetable? Fruit? Both? It’s part of ketchup, should it be linked to ketchup under condiments? \nMono-hierarchical vs. poly-hierarchical\n\n\n\n------------\nAssociative Relationships - See Also\nSalt and Pepper - Spice? Condiment? Or would it be helpful to tell the user who is looking at Spices to also review Condiments? (or, do it for them -- Steve Krug’s Don’t Make Me Thnk)\nSee NISO Z39.19-2005\nBT = Broader Term\n NT = Narrower Term\n RT = Related Term (“See also”)\n SN = Scope Note\n UF = Used For\n USE = “See” (Refers reader from variant term to vocabulary term.)\n------------\nGet to define your own relationship types!\nLocalization\nAnnotation\nReasoning\n“NOT”\n\nOntology 101 by Natalya Foy and Deb McGuinnes \nSemantic Web for the Workind Ontologist by Dean Allemang and James Hendler\n----------------------------\n\n\nThere is NO ONE RIGHT WAY to build any of these. They are an ART and a SCIENCE. The IA, UX, UI, etc - all human-computer interaction models for your system are important inputs to the design. \n
