Web Accessible
LEXICO is a platform independent system that is Java-based, Web server-thin client architecture-compliant. Now a LEXICO-maintained thesauri can be accessed and manipulated over the Internet and/or an intranet. Hyperlinks to other URLs may be placed in LEXICO screens to allow easy access to databases and search engines.
Remote or local public users may be authorized to search and browse the thesaurus. Optionally, public users may recommend modifications to the thesaurus, which can then be e-mailed to the designated recipient - in a format that becomes the data input if any such recommendations are accepted.
Micro-thesaurus
Unique micro thesaurus feature enables the creation of a thesaurus of user-selected terms. Create a thesaurus anchored on one term. Expand the hierarchy one level, or to the full extent of the hierarchy. Or create a mini-thesaurus of a single subject. Use the micro-thesaurus feature to create a print output of non-contiguous terms.
Filter Data
Filter operations enable extraction of data based on selected criteria. Locate all instances of a misspelled word, display only approved terms, terms modified before a given date, terms with scope notes containing a specific string, and/or terms with more than 30 NTs, etc.
Customizable Display Options
Displays are configurable by each user. Display all record information for the lexicographer and suppress administrative details, such as date and approval information, for the public user. Put notes first or relationships first. Display the hierarchy for each term following the term record, or display only the hierarchy.
