Example “Compounds”
Table of contents
Introduction
This example has been set up only to test compound terms, so it has very few features or relationships other than USE+ and UF+. All the preferred terms have concept identifiers (tagged CID), but since the compound terms represent concepts that are not really “in” the thesaurus, they do not have concept identifiers. All the terms do have term identifiers (TID).
A classified display is irrelevant for this example, and a hierarchical display seems trivial, but has been included after the alphabetical display, for completeness.
For this example, testing includes:
- Checking that all features can be represented adequately in the DD8723-5 model and the corresponding XML schema.
- Checking that data expressed in the DD8723-5 XML format can be interpreted correctly to re-create the alphabetical display.
This example is based on the sample data given by the following file.

DD8723-5 XML Format
The following example illustrates how this Thesaurus can be recorded in the DD8723-5 format.

Alphabetical display
The following XSL transformation was written to demonstrate that it is possible to recreate thealphabetical display of the Thesaurus from the DD8723-5 format.
The transformation is available at the following location.
DD8723-5ToAlphabeticalDisplay.xsl
The result of the transformation is available here.

Hierarchical display
The following XSL transformation was written to demonstrate that it is possible to recreate thehierarchical display of the Thesaurus from the DD8723-5 format.
The transformation is available at the following location.
DD8723-5ToHierarchicalDisplay.xsl
The result of the transformation is available here.
