Conceptual and Lexical Compatibility in Thesauri Used to Describe and Access Moving Image Collections
Abstract
The term-to-term comparison method was used to identify various types and levels of conceptual equivalence among five controlled vocabularies used for content representation in collections of non-art moving images. It was found that conceptual overlap is high enough to justify the pursuit of research and development work on a common basic indexing and access language that could be used to name categories of persons, objects, events, and relations most frequently depicted in non art moving image collections.Nous avons utilisé la méthode de comparaison terme-à-terme pour identifier divers types de relations et niveaux d’équivalence conceptuelle entre cinq langages documentaires utilisés pour la représentation du contenu dans des collections d’images en mouvement non artistiques. Les résultats de l’exercice démontrent que la compatibilité conceptuelle est suffisamment élevée pour justifier la poursuite des travaux visant le développement d’un langage documentaire commun utilisable pour nommer les catégories de personnes, objets, événements et relations les plus souvent décrits dans les collections d’images en mouvement non artistiques.

This paper suggests a theoretical basis for identifying and classifying the kinds of subjects a picture may have, using previously developed principles of cataloging and classification, and concepts taken from the philosophy of art, from meaning in language, and from visual perception. The purpose of developing this theoretical basis is to provide the reader with a means for evaluating, adapting, and applying presently existing indexing languages, or for devising new languages for pictorial materials; this paper does not attempt to invent or prescribe a particular indexing language.
This UNISIST publication discusses issues related to the compatibility and standardization of bibliograpic records, index languages, software, hardware, and other information systems and services. Following an executive summary, definitions of terms, and other introductory material, existing information systems with common standards are briefly described. A section on compatibility of bibliographic records then discusses codes for bibliographic description, record formats, a common communication format, data exchange problems, bibliographic references, journal titles, script conversion, authority files, filing order, serials holdings data, and bibliographic record problems. Index language issues and products discussed include vocabulary compatibility, the intermediate lexicon, an integrated vocabulary approach, microthesauri, the macrovocabulary, algorithmic approaches, multilingual processing, other aspects of terminological compatibility, and index language problems. The section on software compatibility covers programs and programming languages, command languages, database management systems, machine assistance for searching, user-system interfaces, and software problems, while the hardware section discusses computers, input/output devices, information storage devices, character sets, information transmission, computer networks, machine-machine interfaces, and hardware problems. Compatibility of numeric databases and the management aspects of compatibility are discussed. Also presented are a series of case studies showing how eight organizations have achieved some level of compatibility in information exchange. A series of conclusions, a 566-item bibliography, and a list of abbreviations and acronyms conclude the publication. (ESR)
