Abstract
The process of thesaurus evaluation can enhance the value
of a thesaurus in terms of usability, scope, precision and recall. Structural,
formative, observational, and comparative evaluation techniques are explained
along with specific examples of their use. Thesemethods of evaluation
can be applied in the assessment of an existing thesaurus or the construction
of a new thesaurus. The history of thesauri since 1960, the
development of national and international standards, and sources of
evaluative literature are also discussed. [Article copies available for a fee from
