Putting everything under one term was not my initial idea, but the use of the hierarchical display for both input and output lead me to think that was the preferred structure.  I have removed \u201ccombating radiological terrorism,\u201d \u201cenvironmental effects,\u201d \u201cradiation protection,\u201d \u201cradioactive isotopes,\u201d \u201cradioactive material sources,\u201d and \u201cradiological injuries\u201d from under \u201cradiological terrorism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\">Still, I think \u201cradiological terrorism goals,\u201d \u201cradiological terrorism scenarios,\u201d and \u201cradiological terrorism requirements\u201d are necessary <em>parts of<\/em> \u201cradiological terrorism,\u201d so I have kept the first two in the hierarchy and added the third.  This leads to multiple <span lang=\"en-US\">inheritance for \u201cradiological terrorism requirements,\u201d which is both a necessary part of \u201cradiological terrorism\u201d and \u201cintelligence.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\">\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"><font face=\"Verdana, sans-serif\"><strong>Introduction<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\">The CTRS Radiological Terrorism Thesaurus contains descriptive terms used throughout radiological terrorism literature.  The terms, their relationships, and their use were culled from several documents, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Radiological_warfare\">http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Radiological_warfare<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Radiological_weapon\">http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Radiological_weapon<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.phppo.cdc.gov\/PHTN\/webcast\/radiation-04\/default.asp\">http:\/\/www.phppo.cdc.gov\/PHTN\/webcast\/radiation-04\/default.asp<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www1.va.gov\/emshg\/\">http:\/\/www1.va.gov\/emshg\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bt.cdc.gov\/radiation\/\">http:\/\/www.bt.cdc.gov\/radiation\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.state.gov\/s\/ct\/rls\/rm\/2003\/24658.htm\">http:\/\/www.state.gov\/s\/ct\/rls\/rm\/2003\/24658.htm<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\">The thesaurus is presented in three forms:  first, an alphabetical display of all included terms, including scope notes, preferred terms and synonyms, broader, narrower and related terms, and any scope notes; second, a hierarchical display of preferred terms only; and third, a rotated display of all terms.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\">Several relationships may be defined for any term in the thesaurus.  Scope Notes (SN) are more detailed descriptions of a term&#8217;s use when necessary.  A preferred term (USE) is a synonym for the term that has been selected for most uses\u2014non-preferred terms do not show up in the hierarchical view.  A non-preferred term (UF) is a synonym that may be found in the literature but is not used in the hierarchy.  Broader terms (BT) are terms that represent more general classes of the current term.  Narrower terms (NT) represent more specific instances or parts of the current term.  Finally, related terms (RT) are related to the current term but not in any of the ways already noted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jasonmorrison.net\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/thesaurus2.pdf\" title=\"thesaurus2.pdf\">View the Thesaurus [pdf]<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Changes in this Edition A number of changes have been made in this revision.
