I suggest you clean out anything not specifically related to protein
structure, such as enzymes. You'll find the existing links already give
groups implicitly.
Then start grouping and splitting. In my experience this is pretty
contraversial as people fall into splitters or groupers thus leading to
hours of discussion. In the end, pragmatism about how you search and
your search tools must drive your groupings.
I'd like to introduce Alan Gilchrist (dbarlow@cura1.win-uk.net) to this
discussion, as an expert on thesaurus construction. Please be patient,
as he is catching up with emails and subscribing to the list server
today.
