One of the main challenges when it comes to launching an information system is creating lists of terms capable of meeting the specific needs of a given institution. In order to help you to create these lists of terms, HURIDOCS provides thesauri for different fields with normalized terms about different topics. You can check them at: https://www.huridocs.org/resource/micro-thesauri/ These description terms constitute access points to retrieve documents using different criteria, which makes them essential for the effectiveness of the database. Data presentation The database allows to filter documents and elements by type of instrument, country, signatory judges, description terms and hearing format (open or closed). The search combining different filters is the main feature of the database interface. Click on the image or here to see the use of filters in a sequence of images. However, the cases constitute the main element of the model, as they gather documents covering different stages of the legal process at the Interamerican Human Rights System. 8
