Warum sollte man überhaupt eine Thesaurus-Management-Software einsetzen?

"If you're thinking about using database software you already have, or even building a thesaurus using word processing software, DON'T. Even a small thesaurus will represent a very large investment of time and intellectual effort. Software which will automate the clerical and repetitive tasks is available for a cost that's very reasonable when you consider the true cost and value of the tool you will be producing." (Quelle: Website der American Society of Indexers @ 20040512.11-18, Abschnitt "Thesaurus Management Software", Absatz 1)
