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.
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. 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.
4. Save the record. In the subject term view screen you will see the term and all its relationships to other terms, including an expandable hierarchy in the context menu box on the right of the screen.
5. Clicking on a term in the context menu box will take you to the view screen for that term.
6. The subject taxonomy list screen shows a list of all subject terms and the number of descendants for each term.
