These include, for example, terms relating to object and work types, events, actors, epochs and periods, processes, technologies, languages, writing and sign systems, historical motifs and themes, disciplines and, in particular, ideological and theoretical terms. In addition, further groups of terms are taken into account in order to enable context-orientated indexing.
