Controlled vocabulary
Up to GlossaryThis Definition applies to: Any version.
A limited set of terms or notations in a thesaurus or classification that must be used both for indexing and searching. In a controlled vocabulary consisting of terms taken from a natural language the use of synomyms and homonyms is avoided for terms recommended for use in indexing. In most cases some structure is imposed on the terms and notations so that those whose meanings are related are linked in some way. (Added by CALYX information essentials 20090514)
