Here is some info that Eliot sent: Meanwhile, if you are completely new to Thesaurus construction, I Googled around and found a short paper explaining how to construct a Thesaurus: " Thesaurus principles and practice ". For an an example Thesaurus you might like to poke around in Thesaurus for Graphic Materials I: Subject Terms . 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.
