More than hierarchy – I’m looking at whether there’s any scope to use variants and preferred terms and so forth.  The aim would be to browse using a hierarchy, but with polyhierarchy for some terms.

 

I hadn’t considered using a lookup function – I’m not sure that would be as capable of generating the views, but it’s an interesting possibility.

Lizz,

 

Are you trying to build hierarchy or just a list?  If it’s just a standard list I personally would really suggest you go with either a named set (controlled by the admin) or a standard field with a lookup function (controlled by the users).   Views can then be created pretty easy on a field vs. a subject tree.

Hello all,

 

Has anyone implemented a thesaurus in place of the standard subject tree in EPrints?

 

Has anyone tried to implement a thesaurus in place of the standard subject tree in EPrints and found it impossible because of some fundamental incompatibility?

 

I would be interested in hearing any experiences before planning work in this area!
