The Anti-Doping Thesaurus

Inside This Site

This site has four main sections, the contents of which are as follows:

Background: Provides information about the organization, the collection and the user group that spurred the creation of the Thesaurus.
Development: A detailed overview of the technical considerations employed in the construction of the Thesaurus.
Sources Consulted: A descriptive bibliography of the documents that were used in the selection and formatting of Thesaurus terms, and the structuring of relationships between these as well.
Thesaurus: Includes a User Guide, a Quick Reference window and the alphabetical, hierarchical and top term display formats of the Thesaurus.

The Thesaurus and this web site were conceived of and created by Drew Jackson, Paul Joseph and Joshua Wager for the Winter Term II 2006 offering of LIBR 512: Indexing , in the School of Library, Archival and Information Studies (SLAIS) at the University of British Columbia (UBC). The three individuals mentioned are graduate students seeking their MLIS degrees.
A trial version of Multisystems' MultiTes was used to store, manage and create displays for Thesaurus terms.
HTML for this site was hand-coded and wysiwyged in Macromedia Dreamweaver 8.
The four images used for the masthead are all from Flickr, and permission from each of the four users who posted them has been granted; the four images were cropped and de-sized in Adobe Photoshop CS2.
The Anti-Doping Thesaurus was for the purposes of this course project created with the World Anti-Doping Agency as its host organization; in truth, however, it bears no official connection with this organization, and it is hoped that this fictitious association is received as a benign salute to WADA's efforts.
