Abstract
The objective of this study is evidence-based identification and characterization of the potential roles and applications of thesauri in Digital Information Retrieval Systems (DIRS). Contents of 77 relevant publications, indexed in Scopus and LISA, and 75 responses received from the administrators of open access repositories, registered with OpenDOAR have been analyzed. Apart from the potential roles of thesauri in information retrieval, i.e., indexing, searching and browsing, other potential applications of thesauri, like automatic keyphrase annotations, selective dissemination of information, ontology development and metadata harvesting, have also been identified. This paper aims to make an important contribution towards the design and practice of DIRSs by making cues for using the potentials of thesauri.
