Abstract

Concept representation in thesauri, especially the representation of compound concepts, has been studied. The criteria and relative advantages in representing a compound concept either as a precombined descriptor or as a combination of elemental descriptors, are discussed with illustrative examples taken from Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) of the National Library of Medicine.
