In this paper some ideas on structure of concepts concerning
clothing and costume are discussed, and a trial thesaurus proposed.
The structural features are follows :
The concepts are framed and thus given their theoretical
bases by the "Special Classification Table of Clothing."
No descriptor is selected in this thesaurus. Groups of
synonyms are arranged in descending order of appearance. If
necessary, the first word can be used, in principle, as a discriptor.
In place of descriptors, groups of synonyms are changed to
retrieval codes.
