Abstract

Thesaurus, a well-known form of controlled vocabulary, has been widely used for indexing and searching of information during the last 50 years. There also have been developments of international and national standards to provide guidelines for developing thesaurus in diverse subject areas. In recent years, the revisions of thesaurus-related standards have been made. Among them are ISO 25964 and BS 8723. This article examines the current status of revision of these standards, and discusses its implications. Based on this examination, it suggests functional requirements of thesaurus in the present information environment, and also proposes elements needed for the development of these functions.

대표적인 통제어휘인 시소러스는 지난 50년간 정보의 색인과 검색을 위한 도구로 널리 활용되어 왔다. 이러한 흐름에 발 맞추어 다양한 주제분야에서의 시소러스 개발을 위한 지침을 제공하기 위해 국제표준 및 국가표준이 개발되었으며, 최근 들어 시소러스 관련 표준의 개정작업이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 시소러스 관련 표준으로 ISO 25964와 BS 8723이 대표적인 사례이다. 본고에서는 이러한 표준의 개정 현황을 살펴보고 변화된 내용과 그 시사점을 도출하여 보았다. 이러한 고찰 결과를 기반으로 오늘날의 새로운 정보환경 아래에서 시소러스가 제공할 수 있는 새로운 기능과 그 기능을 수행하기 위해 필요한 요소들을 제시하였다.
