Research Thesaurus
- The Transportation Research Thesaurus (TRT) was initially developed under NCHRP Project 20-32
to provide a tool to improve the indexing and retrieval of
transportation information. The thesaurus covers all modes and aspects
of transportation. A primary use will be to provide a common and
consistent language between producers and users of the Transportation Research Information Services (TRIS)
Database. The thesaurus is currently also used as an indexing tool for
federal, state and university collections. The TRT Web site allows
users to access terminology through
Alphabetical, Hierarchical, Keyword In Context or Keyword Out of
Context displays. The full display shows relationship of terms,
including SN (Scope Notes), UF (used for terms), BT (Broader Term), NT
(Narrower Term), and RT (Related Term).
