Geographic Term (/GT) Thesaurus
All Relationship Codes can be used with both the SEARCH and EXPAND commands in the Geographic Term(/GT) field unless otherwise indicated.
There may be some terms in the CIN thesaurus that have too many associated terms in order to be able touse the EXPAND command directly with the +ALL relationship code. If you encounter such a term, use theEXPAND command with an +NT relationship code to identify the thesaurus terms at the level immediately
below your term in the hierarchy. Then EXPAND each NT1 term individually with the +ALL relationship code.
