Everglades Online Thesaurus
INTRODUCTION
Purpose
The Everglades Online Thesaurus is a structured vocabulary of concepts and terms relating to the
south Florida environment. Designed as an information management tool for both information
searchers and metadata creators, the Thesaurus is intended to improve information retrieval across
the many disparate information systems, databases, and web sites that provide Everglades-related
information. The vocabulary provided by the Everglades Online Thesaurus expresses each relevant
concept using a single 'preferred term', whereas in natural language many terms may exist to
express that same concept. In this way, the Thesaurus offers the possibility of standardizing the
terminology used to describe Everglades-related information an important factor in predictable
and successful resource discovery.
Yet the Everglades Online Thesaurus is more than a controlled list of sanctioned keywords. Its
structure, developed in conformance with the ANSI/NISO Z39.19 Standard, Guidelines for the
Construction, Format, and Management of Monolingual Thesauri, provides a database of interrelated
terms that enable users to navigate among different terms having the same meaning (synonomy), and
among terms used at different levels of detail granularityy). The Thesaurus also points users to
additional terms associated with their preferred search term, offering the opportunity to develop a
broader, more comprehensive search strategy.
For additional discussion on the purpose and benefits of thesaurii in information retrieval, the reader
is encouraged to consult the following sources:

Scope
The Everglades Online Thesaurus has a multidisciplinary scope that reflects the diversity of studies
and interests in the south Florida environment -- both the natural system and human impacts to it.
The Thesaurus currently contains approximately 4700 terms 2800 preferred terms recommended for
use and 1700 non-preferred terms not recommended for use. The subject areas included in the
Everglades Online Thesaurus include the natural, physical and social sciences, as well as non-
scientific terms reflecting the long history of human settlement and human impacts on the natural
system. A list of major subject categories are show in Figure 1.
INTRODUCTION
Figure 1: Subject Categories in Everglades Online Thesasurus
Section 100: Atmosphere (air, climate)
Section 200: Lithosphere (soils, sediments, geologic processes)
Section 300: Biosphere (organisms)
Section 400: Hydrosphere (freshwater and marine water; waters; water bodies)
Section 500: Ecosystem and Landscape (ecological communities, natural
environments, landscape)
Section 600: Chemical and Physical Aspects (of naturally occurring materials)
Section 700: Human environment (built environment, human settlements, land
setup, resources)
The Everglades Online Thesaurus is not, however, intended to be a comprehensive source of
vocabulary for the south Florida environment. Rather, it is meant to complement more established
and generic sources of vocabulary already established by government or other authorities, such as:
The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), which is the authoritative source for
domestic geographic names. It is developed by the US Geological Survey in cooperation with
the U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN)
The Integrated Taxonomic Information System (URL: http://www.itis.usda.gov/), which is an
authoritative source for the biota of North America. It is maintained by the USGS's National
Biological Information Infrastructure (NBII) program and numerous other partner agencies
The Florida Geological Survey's stratigraphic nomenclature, as detailed in several of their
publications including:
Scott, T. M., 1992, A Geological Overview of Florida, Florida Geological Survey Open File
Report 50, 78 p.
Florida Geological Survey Map Series 146, Geologic Map of the State of Florida, 2001
Florida Geological Survey Open File Report 80, Text to accompany the Geological Map of the
State of Florida, 2001.
Structure
The structure of a thesaurus can facilitate understanding of a subject area by showing the inter-
relationships between concepts. As in other subject thesauri, the terms in the Everglades Online
Thesaurus are linked together by three types of relationships:
Everglades Online Thesaurus
Hierarchical relationships, which link terms to other terms expressing more general and
more specific concepts i.e. broader terms and narrower terms. Hierarchically related terms
are grouped under general subdivisions, which in turn are grouped into the areas of
knowledge covered by the Thesaurus. Broader terms are indicated by the prefix BT, narrower
terms by the prefix NT.
Associative relationships, which link terms to similar terms (related terms) where the
relationship between the terms is non-hierarchical. Related terms are indicated by the prefix
RT.
Equivalence relationships, which link "non-preferred" terms to synonyms or quasi-synonyms
which act as "preferred" terms. Non-preferred terms are indicated by the prefix UF.
An example of a Thesaurus entry displaying all three types of relationships is shown in Figure 2
below.
Figure 2. Sample Thesaurus entry showing preferred term (acid rain), along with a broader term
I + ~ I iII-I A I
UF: acid precipitation
UF: acidic particles
BT: acid deposition
RT: nitric acid
RT: precipitation
RT: rainwater
RT: sulfuric acid
SN: Precipitation having a pH below 5.6 due to high
concentrations of sulphate, nitrate, ammonium or
other anions [ASFA]
SC: 700 HUMAN ENVIRONMENT (built environment human settlements)
(acid deposition) and associated terms (precipation, etc.) Displayed from MultiTes software.
Thesaurus Development
The Everglades Online Thesaurus was developed as a data management standard for information
management with funding from the Department of Interior Critical Ecosystem Studies Initiative and
the US Geological Survey's Place-Based Studies Program.
The scope of the Everglades Online Thesaurus was determined by indexing a corps of approximately
48 documents relating to the greater Everglades ecosystem. These documents include well-
established textbooks or reference books; seminal papers; conference proceedings, and web sites. A
partial list of source documents indexed for the Everglades Online Thesaurus follows:

Terms selected from these documents were organized into one or more subject categories, identified
in Figure 1 above. These categories were selected based on a review and concatenation of major
subject headings used in existing thesauri that cover natural sciences and the environment. The
thesauri consulted for this purpose are as follows:

Use of the Everglades Online Thesaurus
The Everglades Online Thesaurus can be used in two ways:
(1) The complete database version, available on CD, is accessible using the thesaurus
construction software MultiTes version 8.0. This database version provides all terms (both
preferred and non-preferred) in alphabetical order, and enables the user to generate other
views of the Thesaurus such as a hierarchical view; a classified view; a rotated index; and
more.
(2) The printed version of the Everglades Online Thesaurus, included in this document, is
presented in a Hierarchical view, with all terms organized according to the subject categories
detailed in Figure 1 (e.g, 'ATMOSPHERE', LITHOSPHERE' etc.) The Hierarchical view of the
Thesaurus includes three types of terms:
i. preferred terms, denoted in plainface type, which are the terms recommended for
use by searchers and metadata creators;
ii. classes, which are denoted in boldface type, and serve as the main heading for a
group of terms, such as 'fossils' or 'atmosphere processes'. Classes are
acceptable for use in for information retrieval, but because of their broad nature
they should be avoided if a more specific, narrower term is available.
iii. Nodes, denoted in italic typeface, are non-preferred (that is, non-approved) terms
inserted to distinguish related terms and provide easier navigation of the
Thesaurus. Examples of nodes include: levels of government; soils (by type); and
sediment characteristics.
Future Development
The Everglades Digital Library program at Florida International University's Green Library is the
maintenance organization for the Everglades Online Thesaurus. Maintenance responsibilities include
updates, appropriate version management, recognition of appropriate standards and interoperability
considerations, and openness to work with partners to address issues. Persons or organizations
interesting in using the Thesaurus or in contributing to its future development should contact the
Thesaurus editor, Gail Clement, at FlU (phone: 305/348-6708; e-mail: clementg@fiu.edu).
