Text::Thesaurus::ISO

This software is called Text::Thesaurus::ISO and it is a Perl module. Its main purpose is to define an abstract ROADS Thesaurus object and several methods that operate on these objects. Thanks to these methods, new Thesaurus objects can be created, and users can specify what Thesaurus file to use, retrieve all the information from the thesaurus concerning a given term, find broader terms for a given term, and find narrower terms for a given term.

Users can interact with this software using the following commands:

- 'new Text::Thesaurus::ISO': to create a new Thesaurus object
- 'open("myisothesfile")' and 'reopen("myisothesfile")': to specify what Thesaurus file to use
- 'terminfo("dumpy")': to retrieve all the information from the thesaurus concerning a given term
- 'broader("dumpy")' and 'narrower("dumpy")': to find broader terms and narrower terms for a given term
- 'dateentered("dumpy")' and 'datechanged("dumpy")': to get information about the dates when a term was entered and changed
- 'alternatives("dumpy")', 'sources("dumpy")', 'links("dumpy")', 'scopenote("dumpy")', and 'history("dumpy")': to retrieve alternative terms, sources, links, scope notes, and history notes for a given term.

Overall, Text::Thesaurus::ISO is a useful tool for those who need to work with Thesaurus objects and operate on them using various methods. Its Perl implementation makes it easy to use and flexible for different needs.
