Sažetak
Subject indexing and efficient information organization are crucial in enabling access to the content. When that content is in the digital environment, usage of controlled vocabularies becomes a necessity. Many studies showed that access enabled by usage of knowledge organization system, i. e. controlled vocabularies, such as thesaurus or subject headings system works much better than free text searching. Lately, several projects in SSH made significant effort in creation of (multilingual) thesauri. Controlled vocabularies are especially important when thinking about access to the content of the specialized (digital or digitized) collections which would be otherwise lost for the users without controlled access points. This presentation will show the example of Croatian platform Tezaurus.hr developed as a part of infrastructure for different projects under DARIAH-HR. One of the first thesaurus developed within the platform was Thesaurus for watermarks, as a part of the interdisciplinary project Digitization, bibliographic description and research of texts written on Glagolitic, Croatian Cyrillic and Latin scripts until the end of 19th century in Zadar and Šibenik area lead by Marijana Tomić, PhD from University of Zadar, Croatia. This presentation will especially focus on the methodology for the development of a thesaurus using different approaches.
