Question

Controlled Vocabulary - What is controlled and uncontrolled vocabulary?

Answer

Thesauri are usually linked with controlled vocabularies. The opposite is true with unrestricted vocabulary, which uses words and phrases exactly as they would in everyday speech. Many people use the terms "keyword" and "uncontrolled vocabulary" interchangeably. The majority of web searches rely on unregulated terms.
