“(…) a list of printed and electronic publications about the principles of constructing and using information retrieval thesauri. (…) References on facet analysis, systems that provide for thesaurus use by combining terms from multiple facets in search interfaces and lists of thesauri (…) In this context, an ontology appears to be a development of a thesaurus, with a greater number of kinds of relationship between concepts, intended to be useful to software implementing aspects of the proposed ‘semantic web’. A topic map appears to be a way of structuring such an ontology, with the addition of links between concepts and information resources.” (Willpower Information) – courtesy of karl fast, fred leise and mike steckel
