“…They are constructed via human processes and follow the principles of literary warrant and end‐user warrant (Lancaster, 1986, pp. 24–27; Rodriquez, 1984). Structured thesauri contain single concept terms , whereas subject heading lists (e.g., Library of Congress, 1998) are more likely to have a mix of single and multiple concepts terms , including precoordinated subject strings (Dykstra, 1988).…”

Structured thesauri encode equivalent, hierarchical, and associative relationships and have been developed as indexing/retrieval tools. Despite the fact that these tools provide a rich semantic network of vocabulary terms, they are seldom employed for automatic query expansion (QE) activities. This article reports on an experiment that examined whether thesaurus terms, related to query in a specified semantic way (as synonyms and partial‐synonyms (SYNs), narrower terms (NTs), related terms (RTs), and broader terms (BTs)), could be identified as having a more positive impact on retrieval effectiveness when added to a query through automatic QE. The research found that automatic QE via SYNs and NTs increased relative recall with a decline in precision that was not statistically significant, and that automatic QE via RTs and BTs increased relative recall with a decline in precision that was statistically significant. Recall‐based and a precision‐based ranking orders for automatic QE via semantically encoded thesauri terminology were identified. Mapping results found between end‐user query terms and the ProQuest® Controlled Vocabulary (1997) (the thesaurus used in this study) are reported, and future research foci related to the investigation are discussed.

“…The term warrant was first used by Hulme a century ago, when librarians debated whether bibliographic classification schemes should be developed on an a priori, philosophical basis, or on an a posteriori basis, that is, according to what Hulme called "literary warrant" (Hulme 1911;1912;Rodriguez 1984). Advocates of schemes based on a predetermined ontology assumed that libraries reflected, at least collectively, an approximation of knowledge at large.…”

“…On the other hand, some other authors (e.g. Barité, 2011, p. 4) have identified an early reference to user warrant (Lancaster, 1977, p. 140, labeled by Greenberg, 2001, as "end-user warrant" and also citing Rodriguez, 1984) that might be missed or omitted by Beghtol. As for the prescriptive ANSI/NISO Z39.19-2005 definition of "user warrant," this is the "Justification for the representation of a concept in an indexing language or for the selection of a preferred term because of frequent requests for information on the concept or free-text searches on the term by users of an information storage and retrieval system" (pp.…”
