Verbs & Topic Maps: A Proposal for Legal Documentation from the Document Content Analysis Perspective

A final evaluation of the project Development of a verb thesaurus for dynamic information environments. Implementation of the ISO/IEC 12350:1999 standard is presented as a base for the use of its results on future research projects. First, the interest of the Library and Information Science field towards verbal structures is justified for its efficacy on the documental analysis of the movement for: a) a relevant indentification, description and classification of hypermedia, b) its sufficient analytic documental adaptation to the the dynamic transverse character of the hypertext contents and c) the required redefinition of the hierarchical structure of thesauri. Then the methodological evolution of these dynamic concepts is tackled as well as its implementation to the development of verb thesauri for the Spanish legal language. Main contributions of this paper are new research lines oriented to a more specific field of theoric formulation and instrumental implementation.
