You also need to consider issues like how you will produce the thesaurus and distribute it to the organisation. This phase is all about announcing the completion of the thesaurus and making plans for its implementation. It is probably one of the most difficult phases, and needs a great deal of planning and positive interaction with users. You will also need to consider supporting procedures such as who will title the records, how they will be captured into an index, and what technology will be used for registration and indexing records. You may also like to pilot the thesaurus with a particular group before full implementation.
Implementation also involves training users and establishing mechanisms for user feedback.
A formal post-implementation review is essential. Many problems in or with a thesaurus only become apparent when it is being applied. A review should be planned within six to twelve months after implementation. You should also plan for further periodic reviews as a keyword thesaurus is capable of changing as the functions and processes of the organisation and its language change. Responsibility for reviews should be allocated to a specific officer or handled by a consultant.
