Hi list, I'm forwarding this comments to the list -'cos I'm not sure feature request are read a lot. On feature request post by Roberto Ledda on sourceforge is for Thesaurus
**"Summary: (?)**
Thesaurus It would be useful to integrate in Geonetwork an
international and multilingual Thesaurus to manage
keywords (e.g. GEMET - General Multilingual
Environmental Thesaurus, developed by the European
Environment Agency; AGROVOC, developed by FAO).

Roberto Ledda"
That could be a nice feature. But anybody having ideas on how to implement it on GeoNetwork ?
What could be the way to store and manage this kind of Thesaurus ? W3C-SKOS seems to be used by all your examples
http://esw.w3.org/topic/SkosDev/DataZone. For GEMET, remote access through web service are also available but seems to be not so standardized ... In my office, we also have a thesaurus on water partially in SKOS format.
Specification URL is :
http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core/#data
Using this format to store should be coherent with XML/XSL mechanism of geonetwork ... And it should be quite easy to add new thesaurus.
Any other ideas & analysis on that topic ?
Regards.
