  Meanwhile, if you are completely new to Thesaurus construction, I Googled around and found a short paper explaining how to construct a Thesaurus: " Thesaurus

  ISO 25964  is the international standard for thesauri, although I suppose that's useful mainly as a compatibility constraint on whatever tool one uses for maintaining a thesaurus.

  It turns out that
 Ian Ibbotson , a long-time colleague now helping develop the
 Filtered Alert Hub , is an expert on this stuff and his company,
 Knowledge Integration Ltd , is very highly respected. If and when we need a thesaurus management tool, let's start by asking for advice from Ian.
