A new model is described for outliníng and structuring thesauri for their use as an aid in the database indexing through the World Wide Web (WWW). Several models used in the different on-line help managers were studied and used as main sources on the start up: AcroRead, HTML Help, NetHelp, etc. These on line help systems are used to provide easy access for the users to the operatíon guidelines for several commercial software packages. For this work the guidelines included in the «Microsoft's HTML Help» were used.
The format used for the prototype thesauri in the trials is the native format of the CAT (Confección Automática de Tesauros) application developed in CINDOC. From this format and using the methodology outlined in this paper, an HTML file system including search indexes, location indexes and links was developed. This file system allows the user to go to the precise point of the text that refers to the search term. In that point the user will find a number of indications about the relationship between the search term and cither related items. These later ones can be also used as starting points for new searches.
The preliminary trials made with different thesauri, both on-line and on CD-ROM have provided very good results.
