Development of guidelines and principles is examined for the period from 1959 to 1993. It is concluded that the majority of the basic problems had already been identified and solved by 1967, and that Eugene Wall was a major influence on development.

Thesauri are compared with classification schemes developed for the arrangement of library materials and/or bibliographic records. The various structures and applications of thesauri are surveyed, with an emphasis on their increasing role in electronic information retrieval. The distinction between thesaurus construction and the development of classification schemes is expected to blur in the future.

Standards and guidelines are described in terms of origins, characteristics, and control, as well as importance in the design of bibliographic retrieval systems. Emphasis is given to the importance of the relationship between alphabetic and systematic access.
