Abstract

Vocabulary control and information retrieval by means of subject keys are the two most representative expressions of the work with concepts in the field of Library and Information Science. However, the main trend in the area has been to work only with the tags of the concepts, without considering aspects related with their construction and definition. From a terminological point of view, the procedure for creating definitions is described and exemplified, and four ways of conceptual representation are identified. The dialectic relation between the concept and its linguistic representation is studied. Finally, the various methodological and theoretical applications of the model for subject representation are considered
