CoVoMe: New Methodology for Building Controlled Vocabulary

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 1537))

Abstract

The use of methodologies in knowledge management and engineering is deeply comprehensive due to their important advantages. In this paper, we propose CoVoMe that is a methodology for building controlled vocabularies. This methodology covers almost all variants of that vocabularies, and it is designed to be close to the currently available languages for creating thesauri, subject headings, taxonomies, authority files, synonym rings, and glossaries.
