"A controlled vocabulary is a set of pre-selected terms from which a cataloger or indexer selects for assigning subject headings or descriptors to a work in a library catalog or bibliographic database. Vocabulary control ensures consistency in a catalog or databases and increases the efficiency of information retrieval by solving the problems of homographs, synonyms and polysemes of natural language." (New World Encyclopedia)
Example of a controlled vocabulary used for an article in a research database:
Credit: University of Victoria Libraries
Controlled vocabulary helps solve the problem of:
1) Homographs (words that sound alike)
e.g. cranes
cranes (lifting equipment)
cranes (birds)
2) Synonyms (words that have the same or similar meaning)
e.g. manage
manage, supervise, oversee, administer, etc.
3) Variations in spelling
e.g. American vs British
4) Choice between common and scientific names
e.g peacock or Pavo cristatus
