[compute] [Sigia-l] Thesaurus software

[Kenneth Bryson]

Thanks Tom,  

Though I was referring to software that you could use to build
taxonomies and thesauri (in the Information Science sense).   We need to
collect terms from multiple corporate sources and feed them into a
central subject heading thesaurus.  It would be great if we could just
provide an excell or access template and collect the data that way, then
import it into the thesaurus software to collate and QA the terms, then
export out to XML or something for use with our web content management
tool.

Wishful thinking?  Web 2.0 opportunity?

Dear Kenneth,

You can also use web resources like onelook.com or rhymezone.com.
