Hierarchical subject taxonomy

Main Page > User manual > UM-3 Add / edit content > UM-3.5 Edit taxonomies (terms) > UM-3.5.5 Hierarchical subject taxonomy

This feature will be implemented in ICA-AtoM 1.0.8, scheduled for release in October 2009.

Enter relationship data in the subject term edit screen


View the term and all its relationships to other terms in the view screen. Note the expandable hierarchy in the context menu box on the right.


The term edit screen in ICA-AtoM's subject taxonomy includes a special section that allows the user to create hierarchical taxonomies for subject terms in accordance with ISO 2788.

1. In the subject term edit screen, open the relationships information area.


2. If applicable, select a Broad Term (BT) for the term you are editing.


3. Create a Related Term (RT):

  • Under Related term Enter the name of the related term. If this term does not already exist, it will be created when you type it here.
  • under relationship type select either "use for", "use" or "related term" from the drop-down menu.
  • Enter as many related terms as needed.
