Thesaurus From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Redirected from Thesauri Jump to: navigation search A thesaurus is a book that lists words grouped together according to similarity of meaning (containing synonyms and sometimes antonyms ), in contrast to a dictionary , which contains definitions and pronunciations . The largest thesaurus in the world is the Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary citation needed , which contains more than 920,000 words. Contents History and use of term Thesauri in IT Literary thesauri Specialized thesauri for information retrieval ... edit History and use of term In antiquity, Philo of Byblos authored the first text that could now be called a thesaurus citation needed . In Sanskrit , the Amarakosha is a thesaurus in verse form, written in the 4th century. The first example of the modern genre Roget's Thesaurus , was compiled in 1805 by Peter Mark Roget , and published in 1852. Entries in Roget's Thesaurus are listed conceptually rather than alphabetically. Although including synonyms, a thesaurus should not be taken as a complete list of all the synonyms for a particular word. The entries are also designed for drawing distinctions between similar words and assisting in choosing exactly the right word. Unlike a dictionary , a thesaurus entry does not define words.

National Monuments Record Thesauri INTRODUCTION English Heritage takes a leading role in setting standards for recording the built and buried heritage. By setting standards that can be adopted by everyone, we can make sure that all records are consistent. In other words, if everyone uses the same words to describe the same monument, archaeological object, building material, etc, then anyone using this common language can easily index, retrieve and understand these records. With this aim in mind, English Heritage is continually developing new thesauri to provide structure and guidelines for the standardisation of terms to be used when creating new records of the past. Now, in our drive to disseminate these standards and promote their wider use, we are making available seven separate online thesauri. A tailor-made suite of programs has been developed, which uses a database to create a series of web pages for any chosen thesaurus. These can be easily accessed using a frames-capable browser and regularly updated as new terms are submitted and approved by our Data Standards Unit.

Zthes Specifications Abstract model XML schema CQL context set SRU/SRW Annexes Implementations Applications Thesauri Historical Old profile Old XML DTD Navigation What's new? Site map The Zthes specifications for thesaurus representation, access and navigation 17th February 2006 What is Zthes? The Zthes family of specifications facilitate interoperability for applications that deal with thesauri - semantic hierarchies of terms as described in ISO 2788 and ANSI/NISO Z39.19. The core specification in the Zthes suite is an abstract model for thesaurus terms. This model is made concrete by an XML format for representing thesauri according to this model. Additional specifications show how queries into Zthes-compliant thesauri may be expressed using CQL , and how such thesauri may be accessed using the REST-like SRU protocol and the SOAP-based SRW web-service , or using the ANSI/NISO Z39.50 information retrieval protocol Because the Zthes specification work was done largely in the UK, ``Zthes'' is pronounced ``Zed-thezz''. However, ``Zee-thezz'' is an acceptable variant. What else is on this site?
