Approaches to formation of topical lists of key words

Lists of key words in the IC that are specified for each document included in the FRKPS are important components of the FRKPS taxonomy. All specific information contained in every document of the FRKPS can be divided into two parts. One part of the information (up to the level of systems and main components or global aspects of FR technology) can be described by the root structure of the FRKPS; the other part of the information (up to the level of separate elements and particular aspects of the problem) will be described by the set of key words. Thus key words allow describing detail specific information of each document, which is not reflected in the branch structure of the FRKPS.

To make the FRKPS user friendly an effort should be undertaken to systematically develop key word sets for the topical sections of the FRKPS. These key words would be used by specialists or students to query the FRKPS. The following features will be incorporated within the framework of the FRKPS:

• Formation of a thesaurus of key words (in English).
• Compatibility of the thesaurus with the INIS thesaurus to the maximum possible extent.
• A hierarchical structure of key word sets arranged in accordance with the FRKPS topical structure. For this purpose, it is proposed to form lists of key words for all levels in each topical section. The list of key words for every level should automatically contain key word arrays of lower levels of this branch.
• When a new IC to be inserted into the FRKPS has a new key word which is absent in the FRKPS key words lists, this key word will be automatically included in the list of key words of this topical section and all related higher level topical sections.
• Access to files with the lists of topical session key words would be provided to the users at any structural level for the purpose of familiarization and use in the course of a search. Of course, the users would not be able to change the key words.

The above concept of a thesaurus of key words for the FRKPS will promote its further development and improvement
