Structures for working with formal nomenclatures
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
data(GDI_NCIThesaurus)
parents(term, nom)
children(term, nom)
getDefs(term, nom)
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{term}] character string, term 
\item[\code{nom}] instance of class \code{\LinkA{taggedHierNomenclature}{taggedHierNomenclature}} 
\end{ldescription}
\end{Arguments}
\begin{Details}\relax
DAG-structured nomenclatures are in wide use.
For any term, one can seek parents (generalizations)
or children (specializations).
These resources prototype tools for dealing with
such structures, including provenance information.
