Ringkasan	Domain analysis is the socio-cognitive research programme proposed by Birger Hjørland and Hanne Albrechtsen in 1995, which holds that the most fruitful object of study for information science is the knowledge domain understood as a discourse or thought community within society's division of labour. Rather than grounding information organization in the isolated mental processes of an individual user, domain analysis grounds it in the shared literature, paradigms, terminology, and social practices of a subject field. Hjørland and Albrechtsen set out eleven complementary approaches — from producing literature guides and special classifications to bibliometric, historical, and epistemological study — and Clare Beghtol's work on literary warrant and consensus showed how a domain's own published discourse supplies the empirical basis for its categories. The method turns the design of classifications, thesauri, and retrieval systems into an evidence-based study of how a community actually thinks and writes.	Thesaurus construction is the systematic building of a controlled vocabulary in which preferred terms are linked by a standardized set of relationships — equivalence, hierarchy, and association — to support consistent indexing and effective retrieval. The definitive practical methodology was set out by Jean Aitchison, Alan Gilchrist, and David Bawden in their manual Thesaurus Construction and Use, and the controlling standard in the United States is ANSI/NISO Z39.19, with ISO 25964 as its international counterpart. A thesaurus collects the terms a domain uses, resolves synonyms and homographs so each concept has one preferred label, and then wires the preferred terms together with USE/UF, BT/NT, and RT relationships plus scope notes. The result is a structured map of a subject's concepts that indexers and searchers share, reducing the mismatch between the words authors, indexers, and users choose.
