Accordingly, an example of the use of the thesaurus is presented on Figs. 5 and 6. Figure 5 illustrates the card of the term 'overpaint' (including Scope Note, Hierarchy, Broader Term, Related Terms and sources), as well as, Fig. 6 presents the tree representation of the 'Construction Features' hierarchy from the Thesaurus Management System THeMaS'', in a way that acts complementary.
