  abstract =     "In this article we explore the strengths and
                 limitations of hypertext for the online presentation of
                 thesauri used in information retrieval. We examine the
                 ability of hypertext to support each of three common
                 types of thesaurus display: graphic, alphabetical, and
                 hierarchical. Graphic displays generated by hypertext
                 browsers appear to be inferior to their printed
                 counterparts. The simple alphabetical display can be
                 easily mapped onto hypertext systems but has the
                 inherent disadvantage of not showing a full hierarchy
                 at the entry point for a term. Hierarchical displays
                 are well suited to hypertext presentation but do not
                 include definitional or complete relational
                 information. We present a design for a hypertext-based
                 hierarchical display that addresses many inadequacies
                 of printed hierarchical displays. We also illustrate
                 how this design might be implemented using a
                 commercially available hypertext system. Finally, we
                 consider issues related to the implementation and
                 evaluation of hypertext-based thesauri.",
