HyperTexted Thesaurofaceted Thesauri
For my continuing review of 'neo-conventional' thesauri,
I am interested in any research projects or prototypes
that have implemented a 'thesaurofacet' thesaurus within
a hypertext environment.
In a Thesaurofacet, to quote Jean Aitchison, the lead
developer of the approach:
"a thesaurus replaces the alphabetical subject
index which normally follows the schedules in
a conventional faceted classification. The terms
in the system appear twice, once in the thesaurus
and once in the schedules, the link between the
two locations for the term being the notation
or class number. The information given about the
term in the thesaurus is additional to that
given in the classification schedules, and in the
thesaurus about the term in the classification
is additional to that in the thesaurus. The two
parts of the system are complementary, and if
used separately, incomplete.
_Thesaurofacet: A Thesaurus & Faceted Classification
For Engineering & Related Subjects_. Whetstone,
Leicester,England: The English Electric Company,
Ltd., 1969.
In addition, I am also interested in recent implementations
of the thesaurofacet approach in any and all subject fields,
in hypertexted or non-hypertexted environments.
As always, any leads, comments, criticisms, critiques
or citations, are most welcome!

No, there are validators that tell you this sort of information,
such as
the validator we use, Linkbot.
Same is true of CyberSpyder, which I recommended in
previous message.

In windows 95, choose Start-Settings-Control panel. Next click on the
tab labeled Appearance. Under item select Icon. Now the size
incrementer beside icon is available for change. Below that choice is
the incrementer for the font and font size and that may be what you
would want to change rather than the icon size, they are not
synchronized to change together. If you are using NT 4.0 this should be
the same process. I'll have to check on our NT server which is located
in a different building.
