In the history, each selected term is shown below and one place to the right of the term from which it was derived. It is preceded by a symbolic representation of the "path" of relationships followed to reach it. The symbols <> and - stand for BT, NT and RT respectively. So, in the above example, the path --< indicates that the term in question was reached by following two associative links and then an upward hierarchical link.
