Abstract
At this point of time , there is no vocabulary control device in any form that can serve the
purpose of depth-indexing of micro-documents , This study centres round the design and
development of an online alphabetical thesaurus of terms on "Islamic Law", It can be used
for searching and retrieval of bibliographic references, as well as the profiles of
organizations and institutions, projects and experts, A device which can serve the purpose
of depth-indexing of micro-documents can at the same time serve the purpose of indexing
macro-documents, For the purpose of developing the alphabetical thesaurus, a systematic
thesaurus has been developed fIrst by using the faceted approach to the extent necessary and
sufficient. In addition, the standard procedures for the construction of alphabetical thesaurus
as prescribed by different authorities have been followed to the extent warranted, A
thesaurus database containing records of terms on "Islamic Law" has been developed, The
structure of the online version of the GECD macrothesaurus called "Thes" has been used
for this purpose, For the purpose of online maintenance and use of the thesaurus an
application programme called "Theshi ", an improved version of the "Thes Program", that
comes with Micro CDSIISIS sofrware, has been used, Necessary print and sort worksheets
have been designed for generating the alphabetical thesaurus from the database, The
"Vocon,Pas Program", developed at SISA, has been used to demonstrate the use of the
thesaurus for indexing,
