Common Thesaurus Framework
Co-funded by the Community Programme eContentplusECP-2007-GEO-317007
COMMON THESAURUS FRAMEWORKBASIC IDEA
FRAMEWORK REQUIREMENTS Modularity:
new KOS may be added as a new module plugged in the set of thesauri in the NatureSDIplus solution.
Openness: Each KOS should be easily extendable keeping separated
the original one.Interlinking:
Interlinking among the terms referring to the same concepts in more then one thesaurus in order to harmonize their usage.
Exploitability:encoding in a standard and flexible format in order to
encourage the adoption and its enrichment from third party system
DESIGN PRINCIPLES
SKOS-Simple Knowledge Organization System to encode the thesaurus contentto model basic structure and content of thesauri
according to semantic web\W3C recommendations
Linked data best practicesTo publish the thesaurus in machine
understandable format exploiting existing protocols in the web

THESAURUS FRAMEWORK CONTENT RESULT Number of available concepts
The Thesaurus Framework for Nature Conservation includes more than 200,000 concepts
Thesaurus language All thesauri are in English except for Species in Latin Official languages of other EU countries has been
considered according with the availability translation of the existing thesauri
Interlinks have been generated Habitats to Species and vice versa; EARTh to Bio-geographical regions and vice versa; EARTh to GEMET; Species to official linked data dataset available at the
EUNIS/EEA web site.
