Information Retrieval: The Role of Controlled Vocabularies

Introductions

Retrieval; Free Text,

Full Text, and

Controlled Vocabularies.

Dr. Raya Fidel

Terms and concepts

Jim Erwin established one of the goals of

today's conference as determining the ongoing role of

controlled vocabulary in information retrieval. He

anticipated that the meeting would help to clearlydelineate where we were in the area of information

retrieval and allow us to determine how we measure

up against the state of the art.

Dr. Hill noted that one of the purposes of the

conference was to establish a dialog among the

participants on the complex topic of controlled

vocabularies and their place as retrieval tools in a freetext environment.

To illustrate the difficulties that can result from

a lack of a controlled vocabulary, Dr. Fidel discussed a

search for the subject of exposures to substances or

conditions that are a risk to health by using the phrase

"exposure assessment methodology" (see viewgraphs 1

and 2). The aim of the search was to find information

about measurement techniques. The difficulty is that

each word in the phrase is so common that, if you ran

a search using the words only, you would get a great

many citations on a variety of subjects (see viewgraph

3). The ambiguity inherent in the individual words is

matched by the ambiguity of the phrase itself. In order

to insure broad recall of relevant records, the searcher

needs to generate a set of synonyms for each concept.

Synonyms include the words that people actually use

in practice when they talk about a particular concept.

Thus, an effective list of synonyms will include words

sharing the same meaning as well as associated terms

generated by the searcher out of her knowledge of

real-life linguistic behavior.

This example of searching for the subject

"exposure assessment methodology" illustrates the

differences between free text (or even full text)

NASA STI ProgramCoordinatingCouncil Meeting, April 22, 1993

Information Retrieval: The Role of Controlled Vocabularies

Need for controlled

vocabularies

Cost versus effectiveness

searching and the use of controlled vocabularies

(thesaurus terms). The searcher needed to find records

that were relevant to the topic. In a free text

environment without benefit of a controlled

vocabulary, all that she had to search with were

natural language terms from the documents or records.

She did not have the benefit of controlled vocabulary

where terminology for concepts had been standardized.

She could not search with concepts. So, she made up

the appropriate concepts for that particular search and

tried to generate terms that matched those concepts to

get at the information that she wanted. This

approximates what is done when indexing with a

controlled vocabulary. The indexer identifies concepts

based on a reading of the material and then chooses

the appropriate words (descriptors) from the controlled

vocabulary (the thesaurus) to represent those concepts

(see viewgraph 4).

Why should we create these controlled

vocabularies beforehand and use them in indexing?

One of the great values of controlled vocabularies is

that they make implicit concepts explicit through

hierarchical relationships between terms. These

relationships between broad terms and narrow terms

cannot be derived from an analysis of free text. They

must be intellectual constructs. We have terminological

control and content analysis through indexing. We

need a controlled vocabulary if we want to retrieve

concepts that can be represented in various ways, or

inferred, in free text.

Are controlled vocabularies cost-effective? Free

text advocates argue that they are not cost-effective.Some studies found that free text and controlled

vocabulary searching have the same results. Otherstudies have found that one or the other of the

Retrieval effectiveness:

Review of retrieval

studies

Recall capability

methods were more effective. Most of the studies

were flawed; the question has not been answered.

A renewed interest in retrieval techniques and

the differences among them resurfaced with the advent

of full text searching. There were conflicting results

from studies comparing full text searches with

controlled vocabulary searches. A study (Tenopir,

1985) using the Harvard Business Review Online

database, reported on a controlled experiment in which

31 requests were searched in four different formats:

only the text, only the fl0e, only the abstract, and only

the descriptors. Results indicated that full text searches

retrieved more than the other methods, yielding high

recall, but with low precision. The controlled

vocabulary performed better than free text if one didn't

look at the full text, but only at the rifles and abstracts.

The conclusion of the study was that a combination of

controlled vocabulary with a full text search technique

gives the best results, since the controlled vocabulary

compensates for the imprecision of the full text search.

In a study (McKinin et al., 1990), 100

questions generated by people that came into the

library asking for literature searches were searched

using two full text databases. Although the searches

resulted in high recall, it was found that using the

controlled vocabulary found some articles that were

missed by the full text searches. Why were they

missed? In 25% of the cases, it was because the

concepts were not explicit in the text. In 33% of the

cases, failure to capture a document was because the

searchers did not use enough synonyms. Thus, in 58%

of the cases, the failures could have been avoided by

the use of a controlled vocabulary.

Conclusion

Thesaurus Standards

and Practicalities

Dr. Belia Hass Weinberg

An earlier study (Blair & Maron, 1985)

found that when you have a very large full text

database, you get very poor retrieval using free text

searching. In this study, using a 40,000 document

database and 360,000 pages of text, legal

paraprofessionals with search experience searched 51

questions. Results indicated high precision (79%), but

low recall (20%), a counter-intuitive result. Low recall

resulted, in part, from the drawbacks that are inherent

in full text searching without a controlled vocabulary:

the concepts that were being searched had different

terms attached to them. Accidents, for example, were

variously referred to as events, incidents, situations,

problems, difficulties, etc.

In the last study cited (Fidel, 1992), 47

searchers were observed as they performed their

searches. They were asked to think aloud, reflecting on

their reasons for making various decisions. Dr. Fidelalso interviewed each searcher. It was found that the

decision whether to use a free text search term or a

controlled vocabulary search term depended on the

specific situation. If the term was a common one, it

was best to use descriptors. If the term was well-

defined and recall was not important (the client simply

wanted to get some articles), then free text was used.

The overall conclusion drawn from a review of

these studies was that full text searching can by no

means replace the use of a controlled vocabulary. Theideal search environment is one in which a controlled

vocabulary complemented a free text search capability.

Dr. Weinberg analyzed the various structures of

thesauri and their display in print and online, early

making the point that there was not one standard or

4

Information Retrieval: The Role of Controlled Vocabularies

Analysis of four thesauri

Alphabetic sequence

correct structure for thesauri. Chosen for comparison

were four thesauri produced by government agencies

that participated in the following panel discussion: the

National Aeronautics and Space Administration

(NASA), the National Library of Medicine (NLM), the

Department of Defense (DoD), and the Department of

Energy (DOE). The structures of the thesauri are

varied and complex, a situation that contributes to a

lack of utilization. Using viewgraphs to illustrate the

hierarchical arrangement of terms, the thesauri were

presented in order of increasing complexity ofstructure: the Defense Technical Information Center

Thesaurus (see viewgraphs 5-9), the Department of

Energy's International Energy Subject Thesaurus (see

viewgraphs 10-13), the NASA Thesaurus (see

viewgraphs 14-23), and the National Library of

Medicine's Medical Subject Headings (MESH) (see

viewgraphs 24-31). Comparisons and contrasts were

made among such thesaurus features as the structure of

broader and narrower terms, the presence or absence

of related terms, and levels of hierarchy.

Specif'xcally, Dr. Weinberg analyzed in some

detail the following aspects of the four thesauri (see

viewgraph 32) : the primary alphabetic sequence, the

dictionary, the concordance of all words, and the

classified display. Again, the overriding point was how

confusing thesauri can be to users.

In the DOE thesaurus, the primary alphabetic

sequence is called Subject Thesaurus; in DTIC it is

called Posting Terms; in MESH, Annotated Alphabetic

List; and in the NASA Thesaurus, Hierarchical Listing.

Dictionary Dictionary functions are also variously

accomplished. In the DOE thesaurus, some definitions

are within the alphabetic sequence, with a tag. In

Concordance

Semantic relationships

Online thesaurus display

Conclusion

DTIC, there are some definitions, without a tag. MeSH

includes some lexical information within scope notes.

NASA carries the definitions in a separate volume.

DOE has no concordance. DTIC calls its

concordance Key Words Out of Context, and places it

in Section 3. MeSH calls it Permuted Medical Subject

Headings, while NASA calls it Access Vocabulary.

DOE has no classified display. DTIC has a

separate hierarchical listing. MeSH has a separate

hierarchical display, one that consists of tree structures

with no redundancy to the alphabetic display. NASA's

thesaurus does not have a separate printed panorama of

the classification of all its descriptors. However, it

provides complete broader- and narrower-term

relationships for each term within the alphabetical

sequence, called the Hierarchical Listing.

Next, Dr. Weinberg discussed thesaurus

notation for semantic relationships (see viewgraph 33).

In abstract terms there are three categories of semantic

relationships: equivalence, hierarchy, and association.

In her discussion of online thesaurus display,

Dr. Weinberg noted that, compared with print displays,

online displays in the major vendor systems are

poorer, offering less information to the user (see

viewgraphs 34-45). For example, scope notes are

truncated. The definition information is not yet

available in the major online systems. She found that

some people who are mounting thesauri at DIALOGdo not understand thesaurus codes. Used and Used For

are both truncated to U and used in both directions in

certain databases (see viewgraph 39).

In conclusion, Dr. Weinberg noted the great

variations in thesauri structures. She argued that

NASA STI ProgramCoordinatingCouncil Meeting, April 22, 1993

Panel discussion

References

greater uniformity would simplify consultation of

thesauri. (She is not, however, advocating uniformity

in vocabularies.) She also called for a common

command language for information retrieval that would

enhance end user employment of the controlled

vocabulary that we put so much effort into building.

In the lively panel discussion on developing

federal thesauri, a number of important issues were

covered: the uses of retrospective indexing, the

question of whether the addition of more postings to

controlled vocabularies constitutes an advantage or a

disadvantage to searchers, the impact of machine-aided

indexing, and efforts aimed at standardizing

terminology. What the panelists agreed upon was the

need for on-going consultations among the panel

participants on standardizing their respective

vocabularies whenever possible.

INTRODUCTION

Definitions are given for most terms added to the NASA Thesaurus since 1976 as well as for manyearlier terms. Definitions of more common or general scientific terms are given a NASA slant if oneexists. Certain terms are not defined as a matter of policy: common place names, chemical ele-

ments, specific models of computers, and nontechnical terms. Other terms lack definitions becausethe NASA Thesaurus predates by a number of years the systematic effort to define terms. Neverthe-less, definitions of older terms are continually being added.

The following data are provided for each definition: term in uppercase�lowercase form, definitionper se, source, and year the term (not the definition) was added to the NASA Thesaurus. The NASAHistory Office is the authority for capitalization of NASA names. USE cross references from theNASA Thesaurus are also included in uppercase/lowercase form.

SOURCES OF DEFINITIONS

Definitions with no source given were censt'ructed by lexicographers at the NASA Scientific and

Technical Information (STI) Facility, who rely on the following sources for their information: experts

in the field, literature searches from the NASA STI database, and specialized references, includingthose listed below.

ASTM. Compilation of ASTM Standard Definitions, 6th edition. Philadelphia, PA, ASTM, 1986.Copyright, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). All rights reserved. Used

with the permission of ASTM. Two ASTM sources are distinguished: standards are identified byan alphanumeric designation with no hyphen; committees are identified by an alphanumericdesignation with a hyphen. The original definitions appeared in the Annual Book of ASTMStandards.

DOE. Energy Data Base Subject Thesaurus (DOE/TIC-7000-R7). Oak Ridge, TN, Departmentof Energy, 1987.

SP-7. Dictionary of Technical Terms for Aerospace Use, NASA SP-7. Washington, DC, NASA,1965.

In some cases, definitions used from these sources have been subjected to editorial alterations,such as making a definition agree in number with the NASA form of the term.

ENTROPY

entropy

A measure of the exlent to which the energy of a system isunavailable. SP-7 1968

entropy (statistics)

A factor or quantity that is a function of a mechanical system and

is equal to the logarithm of the probability of the particular

arrangement in that state. 1980

entry guidance (STS)

The precise steering commands for trajectory from initial

penetration of the earth's atmosphere until the terminal area

guidance is activated at an earth-relative speed (about 2500 fps).1980

environmental chambers

Use test chambers

environmental chemistry

Collective term comprising the complex chemical relationships

involving the atmosphere, climatology, air and water pollution, fuels,

pesticides, energy, biochemistry, geochemistry, etc. 1980

environmental temperature

Use ambient temperature

environments

External conditions or the sum of such conditions, in which pieces

of equipment, living organisms, or systems operate as in

temperature environment, vibration environment, or space

environment. Environments are usually specified by a range of

values, and may be either natural or artificial. SP-7 1968

eoslnophlls

A type of white blood cell or leukocyte which stains a red color

with eosin stain; normally about 2 to 3 percent of white cells in

the blood but tending to decrease during stressful situations and

thus usable as an index for stress. SP-7 1968

ephemerides

Periodical publications tabulating the predicted positions of celestial

bodies at regular intervals, such as daily, and containing other

data of interest to astronomers. A publication giving similar

information useful to a navigator is called an almanac. SP-7 1968

ephemeris time

The uniform measure of time defined by the laws of dynamics

and determined in principle from the orbital motions of the planets,

specifically the orbital motion of the earth as represented by

Newcomb's Tables of the Sun. SP-7 1968

epitaxy

The oriented growth of a crystalline substance on a substrate of

the same or c=;,'fferent cystalline substance.

ASTM (F 127, F-I) 1968

epoxy matrix composites

High strength compositions consisting of epoxy resin and a

reinforcing matrix of filaments or fibers of glass, metal, or other

materials. 1980

epoxy resins

Viscous liquids or brittle solids containing el)Oxide groups thai can

be crosslinked into final form by means of a chemical reaction

with a variety of setting agents used with or without heat.

ASTM (C 904, C-3) 1968

42

equations of motion

A set of equations which give information regarding the motion of

a body or of a point in space as a function of time when initial

position and initial velocity are known. Used for motion equations.

SP-7 I968

equations of state

Equations relating temperature, pressure, and volume of a system

in thermodynamic equillibrium. Used for state equations.

SP-7 1968

equatorial atmosphere

The composition and characteristics of the earth's atmosphere at

and/or near the equator. 1978

equatorial regions

Areas on or near the earth's equator; regions between the Tropic

of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn (23 degrees 27 minutes

North or South of the Equator). 1980

equators

The primary great circle of a sphere or spheroid, such as the

earth, perpendicular to the polar axis; or a line resembling or

approximating such a circle. SP-7 1968

equilibrium

A state of dynamic balance between the opposing actions,

reactions, or velocities of a reversible process.

ASTM (E 7, E-4) 1968

equilibrium flow

Gas flow in which energy is constant along streamlines and the

composition of the gas at any point is not time dependent. Used

for steady state flow. SP-7 1968

equinoxes

One of two points of intersection of the ecliptic and the celestial

equator occupied by the sun when its declination is zero degrees.SP-7 1968

ERBE

Use earth radiation budget experiment

ergometers

Instruments for measuring muscular work. SP-7 1968

.e.rgonomica

erosion

Progressive loss of original matedal from a solid surface due to

mechanical interaction between that surface end a fluid, a

multicomponent fluid, or impinging liquid or soJid particles, Used

for scars (geology). ASTM (G 76, G-2) 1968

erosive burning

Combustion of solid propellants accompanied with nonsteady, high

velocity flows of product gases across burning propellant

surfaces. 1980

error band

Use accuracy

error signals

Voltages the magnitude of which are proportional to the difference

between an actual and a desired position. SP-7 1968

1993 is a computer-generated display of all

terms; i.e., descriptors and cross-references, in the alphabetic list of the

National Library of Medicine's Medical Subject Headings (MESH) for 1993, as well

as all check tag and geographic descriptors in the Annotated Alphabetic MESH,

1993. The Permuted MeSH takes each significant word that appears in each MeSH

term and then lists all the MeSH terms (both descriptors and cross-references)

in which that word appears. The Permuted MeSH also takes selected word roots and

lists all the MeSH terms in which that root appears.

13. ABSTRACT (maximum2OOworda)

The theme of this NASA Scientific and Technical Information Program Coordinating Council meeting

was the role of controlled vocabularies (thesauri) in information retrieval. Included are

summaries of the presentations and the accompanying visuals. Dr. Raya Fidel spoke on

Retrieval: Free Text, Full Text, and Controlled Vocabularies. Dr. Balla Hass Weinberg spoke on

Controlled Vocabularies and Thesaurus Standards. The presentations were followed by a

panel discussion with participation from NASA, NLM, DTIC, and DOE; this discussion, however,

is not summarized in any detail here.
