Conceptual and Lexical Compatibility in Thesauri Used to Describe and Access Moving Image Collections

SUMMARY

The term-to-term comparison method was used to identify various types and levels of conceptual equivalence among five controlled vocabularies used for content representation in collections of non-art moving images. It was found that conceptual overlap is high enough to justify the pursuit of research and development work on a common basic indexing and access language that could be used to name categories of persons, objects, events, and relations most frequently depicted in non art moving image collections.Nous avons utilisé la méthode de comparaison terme-à-terme pour identifier divers types de relations et niveaux d’équivalence conceptuelle entre cinq langages documentaires utilisés pour la représentation du contenu dans des collections d’images en mouvement non artistiques. Les résultats de l’exercice démontrent que la compatibilité conceptuelle est suffisamment élevée pour justifier la poursuite des travaux visant le développement d’un langage documentaire commun utilisable pour nommer les catégories de personnes, objets, événements et relations les plus souvent décrits dans les collections d’images en mouvement non artistiques.
