The Federal Environmental Agency Berlin and the Federal Environment Agency Vienna have developed an extended version of the Thesaurus of the Environmental Data Catalogue (UDK-Thesaurus). Based on the environmental thesaurus of the Federal Envi-ronmental Agency, Berlin, it comprises 33 top-terms, 8.827 descriptors and 13.080 non-descriptors or synonyms. All descriptors have an English equivalent.
As a result of this co-operation, the software tools THESshow and THESmain have been developed for compiling and visualising multilingual thesauri.
