Compiling special thesauruses marks a superior stage in indexing; it is the first step towards a modern national polythematic thesaurus. Given the great interest in business, and the need for the formulation of specific subject-headings in Romanian, we suggest the compiling of a business thesaurus.
This will be built by nine semantic fields; within these fields, subject-headings will be grouped in the function of their semantic priority, such as business activity, business techniques, financial activity, financial techniques, economic activity, economic techniques, law, book-keeping, taxation. The field of business and the adjoining fields will be intersected by two facets according to the forms of inquiry of the database: 1- activity (descriptive aspects); 2 - techniques (normative aspects).
