The OCM subjects from the Outline of Cultural Materials (OCM) are what makes eHRAF so unique and different from other full-text databases. The power of eHRAF is that HRAF analysts assign every paragraph in the eHRAF documents with OCM subjects that relate to the subjects/topics discussed. The subjects (sometimes called OCMs) enable you to search the full-text documents more effectively than keyword searches. The subjects can be found in the Search and Browse sections at eHRAF World Cultures http://ehrafWorldCultures.yale.edu and eHRAF Archaeology http://ehrafArchaeology.yale.edu . Use the OCM number (e.g., “132” for climate) in the Lookup search if you want to retrieve the exact and only subject.
