What is Thesaurus Search? A list of subjects you’ll find discussed in articles shown in a taxonomy (hierarchical) format. You can browse with your mouse until you find the subject term most appropriate for your search. These terms are from ASIS&T’s Thesaurus Search, a tool to collect concepts, to express them with one preferred term and any number of synonyms or equivalent terms, and to include relationships between terms (the first step to an ontology).
