Just a question for me to understand what exactly you are talking about when you refer to "keywords". I ask because in German language there are two different words with different concepts behind, which you both find in every library: "Schlagwort" and "Stichwort" As wikipedia correctly notes, "Schlagworte" are controlled lists of words, often with hierarchical structure, whereas "Stichworte" are simply a set of words used in the document or used to find this document in a search. To give examples typical routes using "Schlagworte" are Nonfiction -> Science -> Life sciences -> Ecology -> Plant ecology or Nonfiction -> Guidebooks -> Cooking -> Asian meals "Stichworte" are not usually stored hierarchically, they give just hints what topics are covered or what words appear often in the document. However, when defining them for a new document, it might help the user to have a list of typical ones around, possibly organized in a hierarchical structure. Is it that what you mean? Is it that what is the english term "keywords" referring to? -- Matthias Basler [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
