Description | This bilingual thesaurus structures 615 key concepts of biodiversity in its fundamental and applied ecological components. It uses the polyhierarchy and includes 400 associative relationships. Each term has a large number of searchable synonyms and variants. Definitions are given with their source. It could be utilized as a bilingual controlled vocabulary to enrich metadata of biodiversity data portals (as the French PNDB) enhancing semantic interoperability. It aims to extend (via narrower concepts, and synonyms) generic environmental science thesauri/ontologies (Agrovoc, Gemet, EnvThes, ENVO) establishing alignments with them. |
