PRODUCT SUMMARY
OpenText Collections Server Webtop Thesaurus
Manager is a flexible application interface to
browse and maintain complex terminology
structures that are linked to an OpenText
Collections Server database. The web-based
interface enables terminology specialists to add,
update, and delete thesaurus terms and relations.
PRODUCT FEATURES
• Manage terms and relations
• View general & specific details for context
• Customize displays
Using a thesaurus with your Collections Server application improves retrieval capabilities
by providing search assistance to users through term browsing, term selection, hierarchical
term expansion, and search redirection with term switching. Thesaurus validation can even
be applied at data entry to ensure consistent standard forms of entry for classification and
category fields. The thesaurus supports 13 ANSI standard relation types including: crossreferences, broader and narrower terms, related terms, abbreviations, scope notes, and
history notes. Retrieval and validation behavior can be configured for each type of relation.
Manage Concepts in Context
The intellectual capital managed by Collections Server is often characterized by a unique
vocabulary, with complex hierarchical relationships well-suited to thesaurus control.
A compelling search enabler, the thesaurus is a tightly integrated facility to support
concept-based retrieval including hierarchical relationships (Netherlands Antilles retrieves
Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao), synonyms (ABC Islands retrieves Netherlands Antilles)
and abbreviations (LA retrieves Los Angeles).
By providing an easy-to-use web interface, Webtop TM lets terminology specialists
focus on the intellectual aspects of managing concepts rather than on the mechanics
of managing complex structures. Webtop TM uses simple hierarchical navigation and
term expansion to facilitate intuitive user searching and term maintenance. The interface
showcases the unique features of the Collections Server thesaurus, such as reciprocation
and transitivity, with complete access to navigate and modify terms and relationships.
