2 - BS8723-5-Full XML Format
3 - Alphabetical display
4 - Hierarchical display
5 - Classified display

This example is drawn from a sophisticated thesaurus, with a number of features such as node labels and notations. The node labels, appear in the classified display but not in the alphabetical display. For testing purposes concept identifiers and term identifiers are included in the alphabetical display, although they would not normally be displayed to users. This example does not distinguish between different types of hierarchical, associative or equivalence relationship. These and some other optional features of thesauri remain to be tested in the near future, with different sample data.

For this example, testing includes:

Checking that all features can be represented adequately in the BS8723-5 model and the corresponding XML schema.
Checking that data expressed in the BS8723-5 XML format can be interpreted correctly to re-create both the alphabetical and the classified display.

This example is based on the sample data given by the following file.
