Yes, provided it is complete enough in terms of vocabulary features
(that is, the things we want the users to describe in the following
subsection)
For example I can present you with this thing:
075607204 geneeskunde
RT geneesmiddelen
NT kindergeneeskunde
075607220 geneesmiddelen
UF medicijnen
075611791 kindergeneeskunde
BT geneeskunde
NT kinderoncologie
NT neonatologie
noot: kinderen ouder dan 12 vallen niet onder
kindergeneeskunde
medicijnen
USE geneesmiddelen
It's quite simple, I feel I don't betray my institute by making that
public (the vocabulary is more than 5000 terms wide) and illustrates
more than half of the features encountered in this vocabulary.
Cheers,
Antoine
