[Sigia-l] ANSI/NISO Z39.19 - 2005

[Peter Morville]

The new "Guidelines for the Construction, Format, and Management of
Monolingual Controlled Vocabularies" have been completed and published. I
was fortunate to serve on the committee along with folks who know way more
about controlled vocabularies and thesauri than I do. If you have any
interest in deep ia or bottom-up ia, I highly recommend reading these
guidelines.

You can view the abstract here:

Or download the standard here:

A print version will be available for purchase in the near future. Cheers!
