The database contains (1) bibliographic data, (2) abstracts and (3) indexing terms. Trained indexers attach indexing terms that are relevant the subject contains of each article based on "Thesaurus for Medical and Health Related Terms". "Ichu-shi Web" is designed to obtain search results without requiring the user to reference the thesaurus. But by knowing about the role of thesaurus and indexing terms added each article, users will be able to search "Ichu-shi Web" in various ways. This paper introduces "Thesaurus for Medical and Health Related Terms" and its role in our database with focusing comparison to "Medical Suject Headings" produced by National Library of Medicine (United States).
