13、 sf indexing and retrieval tools which are either language-independent (the Broad System of Ordering), or multilingual. Aids of this kind are essential if retrieval of documents indexed in more than one language is not to depend on the acquisition and use of a Single, dominant language. Indexers or

Within this context it is considered that multilingual thesauri have a significant part to play in improving the bibliographic control 0% literature on a global

The standardization of procedures for the construction of a multilingual thesaurus is seen as a primary step in achieving compatibility between thesauri produced by indexing agencies using terms selected from different natura1 languages. The recording of these pro- cedures will also enable in

16、dexers engaged in this task to benefit from the experience sf others, and to work in a logical and consistent fashion, using recommended practices which have been established in the course of discussions at an international level. 1 Scope and field of application 1 .l The guidelines given in this In

17、ternational Standard should be used in conjunction with ISO 2788, and regarded as an extension of the scope of the monolingual guidelines. lt is considered that the majority of procedures and recommendations contained in ISO 2788 are equally valid for a multilingual thesaurus. This applies particula

18、rly to general procedures concerning, for example, the forms of terms, the basic thesaural relationships, and management operations such as evaluation and maintenance. Except when it appears to be necessary, the procedures described in ISO 2788 are not repeated here, and it is therefore essential to

19、 refer to both of these International Standards when constructing a multilingual thesaurus. 1.2 These guidelines are restricted in scope to the Problems of multilingualism which tan arise during the construction of a “con- ventional” thesaurus, i.e. a thesaurus displaying terms selected from more th

20、an one natura1 language, these terms then constituting the vocabulary of a controlled indexing language. Throughout this International Standard, a distinction is made between preferred terms and non-preferred terms (sec definitions in clause 3). These guidelines are not applicable to indexing langua

21、ges in which con- cepts are expressed entirely as Symbols (for example mathematical equations or Chemical formulae), nor to Systems which are based on the automatic analysis and searching of free text. lt is considered, however, that a weil-constructed multilingual thesaurus tan play a significant p

23、xamples used to illustrate Problems encountered in the establishment of term equivalences have been drawn largely from the fields of science (including the social sciences) and technology. As far as possible, however, examples were Chosen which illustrate general Problems and procedures, i.e. those

24、which should apply in any field of knowledge. b) lt is realized that the procedures described in these guidelines may not be entirely appropriate for all languages. The examples have been selected, for entirely pragmatic reasons, from three of the major languages, i.e. English, French and German, bu

As far as possible the procedures considered here, together with their accompanying examples, relate to Problems which may be encountered in any language. * Intergovernmental Programme for Co-Operation

27、i 3 Definitions For the purposes of this International Standard, the following definitions apply: 3.1 coined term: A neologism especially created in a target language to express a concept which is denoted by an existing and recognized term in a Source language, but which has no t previously been exp

NOTE - The Parts of the great majority of compound

31、LYSE Frenc h PONT EN BETON = German BETONBR CKE In example (a) the English word “analysis” and the German component “analyse” both represent foci, and the modifying differentes are represented by “Systems” (English) and “System” (German). Despite these surface structural differentes, however, the te

32、rms “Systems analysis” and “Systemanalyse” are both regarded as compound terms for the purposes of this International Standard. 3.3 dominant language: An exchange language (sec 3.5) which is also used for indexing and retrieval in Systems which, for policy reasons, do not give equal Status to all th

33、e languages in the System. Every concept recognized in the System must necessarily be represented by a preferred term in the dominant language. In some cases, however, an equivalent expression may be lacking in one more sf the other languages. These other languages are then known as secondary langua

35、 matter of policy, decide to use terms selected from only one language for this purpose. The exchange language may also be used for indexing and/or retrieval, and the multilingual thesaurus then functions principally as a means Bor translating the local languages sf indexers and enquirers into, or o

36、ut sf, the exchange language. The different languages in such a System would still be recognized as having equal Status (sec 3.4) if equivalents are established reciprocally between the preferred terms in the exchange language and the pre- ferred terms in all other languages. 36 useful feedback: The

Direct tra

Neither sf these phrases would be regarded as a satisfactory indexing term. A shorter expression, which is closer to the German constructio

Translation into English and French could then be carried out
