Abstract

Abstract The Nuovo soggettario, the official Italian subject indexing system edited by the National Central Library of Florence, is made up of interactive components, the core of which is a general thesaurus and some rules of a conventional syntax for subject string construction. The Nuovo soggettario Thesaurus is in compliance with ISO 25964: 2011-2013, IFLA LRM, and FAIR principle (findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability). Its open data are available in the Zthes, MARC21, and in SKOS formats and allow for interoperability with l library, archive, and museum databases. The Thesaurus’s macrostructure is organized into four fundamental macro-categories, thirteen categories, and facets. The facets allow for the orderly development of hierarchies, thereby limiting polyhierarchies and promoting the grouping of homogenous concepts. This paper addresses the main features and peculiarities which have characterized the consistent development of this categorical structure and its effects on the syntactic sphere in a predominantly pre-coordinated usage context.

摘要佛罗伦萨国家中央图书馆编辑的意大利官方主题索引系统Nuovo-soggettario由交互式组件组成，其核心是通用词库和主题字符串构造的一些常规语法规则。Nuovo-soggettario同义词库符合ISO 25964:2011-2013、IFLA LRM和FAIR原则（可查找性、可访问性、互操作性和可重用性）。它的开放数据有Zthes、MARC21和SKOS格式，并允许与图书馆、档案馆和博物馆数据库互操作。同义词库的宏观结构分为四个基本的宏观类别、十三个类别和方面。这些方面允许层次结构的有序发展，从而限制多层结构并促进同质概念的分组。本文论述了在一个主要是预先协调的使用语境中，这种范畴结构的一致发展及其对句法领域的影响的主要特征和特点。
