CONNOLLY, V. PAUL FUSCHINI, and SANDRA S. RADINSKY ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Library, Region V 1 North Wacker Drive Chicago, Illinois 60606 U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 1974 ------- ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY This environmental protection publication (SW-104.01) •in the solid waste management series was originally issued in 1972 as open-file report SW-104of. For sale by the Superintendent ot Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 ------- INTRODUCTION The purpose of this guide is to tell the user the depth to which information is indexed for entry into the Solid Waste Information Retrieval System (SWIRS) information bank, and to give him the tools for proper utilization of this bank. The guide is arranged in three sections. The first is a glossary that shows how certain terms are used in this particular information system. These definitions will not necessarily be found in the same form in other glossaries or lexicons since they relate specifically to this information bank. The second section is a formal thesaurus of the actual keywords by which abstracts are indexed for input to the SWIRS information bank. This is a simple alphabetical listing rather than hierarchical. With each key- word is shown its identifying numerical code, which is used in developing search strategies, and by means of which the full information bank is searched for the information the user requires. The thesaurus is reviewed annually, and revisions will be published as appropriate. In the third section are "use" terms. This section lists terms that are not SWIRS keywords, and refers the user to the corresponding keywords that should be used either for indexing or for developing search strategies. For example, the term "abate" is not in the formal thesaurus, but by con- sulting the Use Terms section, the user will be instructed to use "control," which is a keyword. Judicious selection of keywords will ensure that the information retrieved by the search is most responsive to the user's needs. ------- CONTENTS Page Definitions- 1 Thesaurus (Keywords) - 17 Use Terms 36 ------- USERS' GUIDE TO THE SOLID WASTE INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SYSTEM THESAURUS DEFINITIONS AGRICULTURE Animal wastes and crop residues produced in farm, dairy, or livestock and poultry-raising operations.
