The term edit screen includes a special section that allows the user to create hierarchical thesauri in accordance with ISO 2788.
1. In the 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 term's view screen you will see the term and all its relationships to other terms, as well as an expandable hierarchy in the context menu box on the right of the screen.
5. The taxonomy's list screen shows a list of all Top Terms and the number of descendants for each term.
