Thesauri are valuable knowledge organization systems (KOSs) that support advanced information retrieval. The Semantic Web has brought a renewed interest in thesauri as a support for semantic searches and other added-value services. Tools that manage thesauri permit them to be created, edited and queried. The integrity restrictions on thesauri should also be controlled by these tools. However, there is also the possibility of thesaurus exchange, which becomes relevant in the Semantic Web context…

A semantic web methodological framework to evaluate the support of integrity in thesaurus tools

A methodological proposal for evaluating integrity support in thesaurus tools, arising from the results of this work, is presented and the presentation of the results obtained by applying the framework to three thesauri tools is presented.

The method of enriching a thesaurus by differentiating the related term relationship with specific semantic relations and expanding related terms implies that thesauri enriched with semantic relations are useful in question-answering and modern information retrieval, although the role of the traditional theSaurus in modern information retrieved has diminished.

SKOS concepts and natural language concepts: An analysis of latent relationships in KOSs

The results of the comparative analysis reveal that, despite the use of multi-word units, thesauri tend to represent concepts in a way that can hardly be further divided conceptually, while subject headings and classification schemes – to a certain extent – comprise terms that can be decomposed into more conceptual constituents.
