temasett

Temasett is a term used in information organization to describe a structured collection of thematic categories designed to tag, classify, and retrieve content. The word blends tema, meaning theme, with set, suggesting a curated namespace of topics. It is not a widely standardized term; usage appears primarily in niche discussions, prototypes, or proposals for content governance.

A temasett consists of theme nodes, each representing a topic, possibly arranged in a hierarchy or as a flat list. Each content item may be linked to one or more themes, and themes can carry metadata such as a priority, a confidence score, provenance, and language.

It serves to support intentional organization, enabling faceted search, thematic filtering, analytics, and multilingual retrieval. By clustering related items under coherent themes, a temasett can improve discovery and consistency across a collection.

Structure and interoperability: Typically implemented as a lightweight graph or taxonomy; can map to SKOS concepts, Dublin Core, or other vocabularies; supports thesaurus-like relationships and cross-reference links.

Applications include digital libraries, newsrooms, educational repositories, and corporate intranets that manage large document sets or media collections.

Example: An article about electric vehicles might be linked to Technology and Environment; a historical photograph set could be tagged with Culture, History, and Geography.

Governance and challenges: Temaset maintenance requires clear definitions and editorial oversight to avoid drift; ambiguity among themes, multilingual mapping, and resource costs are common concerns. See also: controlled vocabularies, taxonomy, thesaurus, SKOS.
