International Welding Thesaurus

Mon, 2013-09-23 08:55 — drupalAdmin

Characteristics Comments: 

This thesaurus consists of a list of “preferred terms” and “non-preferred terms” each with an indication of the keyword(s) to be used in indexing. It will also show relations between terms: “broader terms” (BTs), “narrower terms” (NTs) and “related terms” (RTs). Many terms will include “scope notes” (SNs) clarifying their intended use (the subject areas that they cover). Below is a list of the different types of entries that appear in the thesaurus:

SC           “subject category” - broad subject area (processes, materials, applications, etc.)
SN          “scope note” - explaining the meaning of a term
USE        points from non-preferred term to preferred term
UF          “used for” - the opposite of USE
UA          “use and” - for cases where a concept is expressed by two keywords used together
UFA       “used for (and)” - the opposite of UA
NT          “narrower term” - the opposite of BT
BT           “broader term” - generic-specific, part-whole, etc.
RT           “related term” - similar terms, terms in same subject area, opposites
HIS         “history” - date added, term(s) used before that date
 
Please note that British English is used in this Thesaurus. There is a list of American spellings and terminology and their British equivalents.

Physical Properties Sources Index (PPSI)

Mon, 2013-09-23 08:07 — drupalAdmin

The physical properties source index lists recommended databases, handbooks, and websites (data, definition, measurement) for physico-chemical and other material properties.
 
The PPSI had been programmed as a system of polyhierarchical thesauri using the database FileMaker. The thesauri are in German and English and can be extended for other languages. AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript And XML) and FileMaker XML/XSLT Custom Web Publishing are used as WWW technologies.

Scope and Usage
Purpose: 

The Physical Properties Sources Index (PPSI) is a tool for finding resources for physico-chemical and other material properties. It is a starting point for queries such as

  • Where does one find a listing of rate constants?
  • Where does precise information on chemical structure (bond lengths, bond angles, torsion angles) of molecules in the gas phase exist?
  • Where do I find the definition of the quadrupole moment?
  • Where are techniques for measurement of viscosity described?

 
This index does not display the measured values of a physical property of a given compound, for example, values of the dipole moment of water. But it lists the sources that contain the dipole-moment values.

USGS Thesaurus

Fri, 2013-09-20 10:15 — drupalAdmin

Science Topics, a component of the USGS home page, is a browsable index of web resources intended for the public. It augments traditional search and site-specific browse interfaces in concert with the USGS by State and About USGS sites, and is specifically intended to work alongside those facilities. 

General information

Scope and Usage
Purpose: 

This infrastructure is specifically intended to help people outside USGS find information on USGS web sites without specific knowledge of the organizational structure and operations of the USGS. The interface design is based on the idea that finding information cannot be separated from understanding, so in the process of browsing or searching a user is assisted by seeing relationships among scientific concepts, and learns while searching.
