UDK-Thesaurus CD-ROM

New CD-ROM of multilingual Thesauri and Glossaries

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.

Starting with September 2002, a new CD-ROM (€ 20,- excl. postage) will be available with the following environmentally relevant thesauri and glossaries:
