ANZLIC Guidelines

Category:Description

Element: SEARCH WORD(S)

Definition of Element:

Words likely to be used for searching by a person who does not necessarily have expertise in the subject matter being searched. The words are created from the user or searchers viewpoint not from that of the writer of the abstract or the Custodian of the dataset. Where a number of terms may be relevant to the content of the dataset, the most concise term should be used. When a dataset contains diverse information, multiple search words may be allocated.

Allowable Content:

AGRICULTURE
AGRICULTURE Crops

AGRICULTURE Horticulture
AGRICULTURE Irrigation

Format Rules: At least one search word must be used. The main search word should be capitalised.

Field Type: Text

Field Length: Maximum string 60 characters.

Other comments:

It is expected that most implementations of these ANZLIC guidelines will provide the above Search Words in a picklist. The sophistication of the search software will vary from system implementation to system implementation. The following operations of the Search Words in the Search Words field should be possible (as a minimum):

Whether searching on Qualifier words only (eg searching for all datasets where the word Monitoring is used) will be possible will depend on the system implementation and software.

Whether searching will be possible on word combinations in fields other than the Search Word field will also depend upon the system implementation and software.
