1 - Introduction

This example is drawn from a bilingual thesaurus, with a number of additional features. The node labels, appear in the classified display but not in the alphabetical display. Notation appears in both displays. For testing purposes several elements are included in the alphabetical display, that would not normally be displayed to users. For ease of checking the tags have not been translated. They are as follows:

For this example, testing includes:

• Checking that all features can be represented adequately in the BS8723-5 model and the corresponding XML schema, and can be expressed in the standard XML format.
• Checking that data expressed in the BS8723-5 XML format can be interpreted correctly to re-create both the alphabetical and the classified display. [And maybe others too? – multilingualism opens more options.]

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