Abstract

This research and the resulting prototype system show that the object-oriented paradigm is an appropriate mechanism for supporting a complex, multi-hierarchical controlled vocabulary and the resulting classification when applied to a data base. In addition to supporting such a classification, it allows the searching and browsing of both the data base items and the assigned vocabulary terms.
