Historical Studies in Documentation. The Pre-History of the Information Retrieval Thesaurus.
Roberts, Norman
Journal of Documentation, v40 n4 p271-85 Dec 1984
The information retrieval thesaurus emerged in operational form following a confused intellectual history as a secondary indexing aid. Prescriptive language ideas of Moore and Luhn were absent in early forms and no one attempted to reduce retrieval language as advocated earlier. DuPont retrieval thesaurus (1959) offered a model for further development. (MBR)
