Abstract

EDVIN is a subject term and genre database for fiction and biographies, for use by librarians as well as by library users, based on many years of experience of what library users actually ask for, i.e. novels on a given subject, a novel similar to or as good as the one they have just read, or the title of a book on the basis of only vague recollections. The product is not a thesaurus constructed according to a previously determined model, but a register of subject terms developed according to the a posteriori method and in close cooperation with the public
