24 | 6.2 Exchanging a whole thesaurus 6.3 Updating a thesaurus 6.4 Exchanging thesaurus subsets a) single records, i.e. all the data associated with a single concept or term. Such subsets are trivially simple and may be conveyed using the appropriate elements from the recommended format, without the validations required for a whole thesaurus; b) updates (see 6.3); c) responses in the course of live indexing/searching applications (see Clause 8); d) selections of data large and coherent enough to serve as an independent thesaurus. |
