Version 1.1
Introduction
Background
This Thesaurus was developed as a result of a Project known as the Australian Whole of
Government High Level Subject Thesaurus Project, sponsored by the National Office for the
Information Economy (NOIE).
The purpose of the Project was to develop a high level thesaurus of subject terms for use by
Government agencies, which all agencies may use in the AGLS Subject element to describe
their resources. AGLS Metadata facilitates discovery and use of an agency's resources online.
Subject metadata chosen from a controlled vocabulary such as this Thesaurus increases the ease
and precision with which information can be located.
TAGS - Thesaurus of Australian Government Subjects - is the title for this Thesaurus, that was
compiled between August and December, 2001. The thesaurus was intended to:
a.
b.
c.
Cover, at a high level, subject concepts representing the scope of Commonwealth
government activities
Provide a potential source of terminology for portal browse lists, and
Provide a subject vocabulary which is broader than the detailed vocabularies
already adopted by some agencies, but which is able to function as an introduction to
those detailed vocabularies, or to serve as a controlled vocabulary for those agencies
without a specialised one.
The thesaurus conforms with ANSI/NISO Z39.19, Guidelines for the construction, format and
management of monolingual thesauri - the standard for structure and organization of
information retrieval thesauri.
Compiling the TAGS Thesaurus
TAGS presents the business of government from a subject or topic perspective, and is
independent of the structure of government. The Thesaurus represents concepts in a neutral
way, and will cover all general areas of interest to government.
Following an initial review of candidate thesauri, the Canadian Whole of Government Subject
Thesaurus 1 was chosen as the base list for the draft Australian Thesaurus. No single Australian
subject thesaurus covered the range of relevant subject matter at an appropriate high level. The
Canadian Thesaurus was found to cover a wide range of topics relevant to Australian
Commonwealth government interests, hierarchical and reference relationships were already
established in accordance with ANSI/NISO Z39.19 (a requirement of the Project), and it
1
Permission to use the Canadian Thesaurus for this purpose was obtained by the National Archives of Australia
(NAA).
Version 1.1, January 2006

TAGS – Thesaurus of Australian Government Subjects
featured a useful classification of terms into broad subject categories independent of the
hierarchical arrangement.
The Project commenced with discussions between the consultant and representatives of the
National Office for the Information Economy (NOIE), National Archives of Australia (NAA),
National Library of Australia (NLA), Dept of Finance and Administration (DOFA), Centrelink
and portal lead agencies. A Workshop with representatives of key stakeholders canvassed the
aims, operational requirements and desired outcomes. More extensive and detailed discussions
took place with members of a reference group representing NOIE, DOFA, Centrelink and some
subject portals. This group enthusiastically reviewed successive drafts, providing valuable
contributions and comments to help achieve this version. Representatives of the Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC) reviewed the final draft and this version reflects
their suggestions for terms relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
The base list of terms from Canada was amended to reflect Australian needs and terminology.
Terms of purely Canadian relevance were deleted, and Canadian terminology and spelling was
replaced with Australian versions. Additional terms were selected to augment the subject
coverage for Australian use. Sources used in the selection of new terms included:
• Australian subject thesauri
• Commonwealth agency subject lists
• Portal browse lists, and
• Agency subject metadata
The APAIS Thesaurus, the Centrelink Thesaurus (originally based on APAIS), and the fed.gov
browse lists were particularly valuable sources. A list of published sources appears at the end
of this Introduction.
Whenever possible, the terms included in TAGS are those currently used by Commonwealth
agencies. Editorial judgment was applied in selection of terms and in establishing a ‘neutral’
hierarchy. Agencies do not necessarily use the same term for a subject, and sometimes a term
has different connotations in different agencies. Similarly, Australian subject thesauri are not
consistent in their use of terms, since thesauri are compiled over time, for different purposes,
and reflect the view and subject focus of the sponsoring agency.
Examples of various ways of expressing the concept ‘Occupational health and safety’:
APAIS Thesaurus:
}
Family Thesaurus:
} Occupational health; Safety (two terms)
Australian Transport Index Thesaurus: }
Centrelink Thesaurus:
Occupational health and safety
Health Thesaurus:
OH&S (with a reference from Occupational health
and safety)
Australian Occupational Health and
Safety Thesaurus
Does not actually use the term ‘Occupational
health and safety’ because the entire Thesaurus
concerns this topic. It does use the phrase in nonpreferred terms, e.g., ‘Occupational health and safety
committees USE Health and safety committees’.
Version 1.1, January 2006

TAGS – Thesaurus of Australian Government Subjects
A balance between the need for the Thesaurus to be ‘high level’ whilst at the same time being
‘detailed enough to be useful’ for metadata authors and searchers was also sought.
Not all topics are covered to the same level of detail in TAGS, and subject matter unrelated to
the business of government is excluded. The most detailed coverage is given to topics where no
appropriate subject thesaurus already exists. In some cases detail is included selectively, for
example the terms ‘Wool’ and Cotton’ are included but ‘Mohair’ is not. The hierarchical
structure allows additional terms to be included later if necessary.
For subject areas where agencies already use an established subject thesaurus, such as health
and agriculture, the TAGS terminology has been deliberately kept at a very high level. In these
cases it is recommended that TAGS be used in conjunction with the specialist thesaurus: TAGS
is used to provide the general term(s), supplemented by specific terms from the specialist
thesaurus.
The Thesaurus has been deliberately kept to a manageable size, in order to encourage its
adoption and use, and for ease of review and maintenance. It contains a total of 3216 terms,
comprising 1430 Preferred terms and 1786 Non-preferred terms (entry terms or reference
points). The structure is hierarchical, using a "tree" structure that starts with broad concepts
(top terms) which are then broken down into narrower concepts. The structure is fairly flat,
with 571 top terms, and a maximum of 3-4 steps in each hierarchy.
A particular requirement of the Project was to map (cross-reference) from APAIS and AGIFT
terms to TAGS terms whenever appropriate and possible. Because the APAIS Thesaurus is a
subject thesaurus with a similar structure to the Canadian Thesaurus, and the Canadian
Thesaurus includes many terms (or synonyms) which are also in APAIS, the APAIS mapping
was quite straightforward. APAIS terms which fall outside the scope of TAGS are not included.
Where there is a clear correspondence between AGIFT and TAGS the terms have been mapped.
Using the Thesaurus
Terminology
TAGS consists of Preferred terms and Non-preferred terms. Relationships between terms are
expressed with standard notation, described in the next section
Subject thesaurus terms are used to describe the subject matter of resources – they describe
what resources are about. This thesaurus is designed for post-coordinate retrieval – that is,
each term represents a single concept, and as many terms as necessary may be used to describe
a resource. This provides for flexibility and precision during resource discovery, because the
searcher is able to combine terms to satisfy the particular enquiry. In indexing and retrieval,
composite concepts may require the use of two or more keywords. For example, a resource
dealing with ‘computer network security’ would have the TAGS terms ‘Computer networks’
and ‘Security measures’ assigned as Subject metadata.
This contrasts with a ‘browse tree’ in which ‘Heading – Subheading – Sub Subheading’ is the
usual format (this is known as ‘precoordination’).
The Thesaurus follows these conventions:

•
Each term represents a single concept; concepts may be expressed by a single-word
term or a multiword term. Concepts may be:
ƒ
Things e.g., Animals
ƒ
Materials e.g., Gas
ƒ
Activities or processes, e.g., Contracting
ƒ
Events or occurrences, e.g., Public holidays
ƒ
Properties e.g., Accessibility
ƒ
Disciplines or subject areas e.g., Psychology
Terms are expressed as nouns or noun phrases
Terms for things are usually plural (e.g., Health hazards); terms for abstract concepts
are usually singular (Health promotion)
Where the same word represents different concepts, qualifiers are added in
parentheses. For example, Pilots (Aviation), Pilots (Maritime)
Proper names, geographic names and terms describing ‘forms’ (e.g. Amendments,
Biographies, Booklets) are excluded. These are catered for by AGLS elements other
than Subject.
The Macquarie Dictionary is the authority for spelling. The Commonwealth Style Manual and
its publishers, InfoAccess, were consulted for guidance on language concerning age, gender,
and people with disabilities.

USE statements direct the reader from a Non-preferred term to a Preferred term. For example,
in statements such as
Environmental conservation USE Environmental management
Job prospects USE Employment opportunities
Environmental management is the Preferred term, and Environmental conservation the
Non-preferred term, Employment opportunities is the Preferred term, and Job prospects the
Non-preferred term.
USE references may refer from:
•

•
a synonym to a Preferred term, e.g. Guns USE Firearms
a variant spelling or form of word, e.g. Childcare USE Child care
a very specific term to a more general term, e.g. Helmets USE Personal protective
equipment
Sometimes a reference is required from a compound concept to its components. This is
necessary when the term is split and both components must be used in searching,
e.g. Mental health services USE Mental health AND Health services. At present very few of
these references occur in the Thesaurus, but they will be added as required.

Updating Procedures
Before further editorial work, TAGS will be subjected to an ‘operational trial’ during which
additional terms and entry points, scope notes and comments will be collected. It is anticipated
that TAGS will be revised after this phase.
An updating mechanism will be established in order to keep TAGS up to date, and to protect the
considerable investment of time and goodwill made during the Project.
