TermIt: Managing Normative Thesauri
Original language description
Thesauri are popular, as they represent a manageable compromise -- they are well-understood by domain experts, yet formal enough to boost use cases like semantic search. Still, as the thesauri size and complexity grow in a domain, proper tracking of the concept references to their definitions in normative documents, interlinking concepts defined in different documents, and keeping all the concepts semantically consistent and ready for subsequent conceptual modeling, is difficult and requires adequate tool support. We present TermIt, a web-based thesauri manager aimed at supporting the creation of thesauri based on decrees, directives, standards, and other normative documents. In addition to common editing capabilities, TermIt offers term extraction from documents, including a web document annotation browser plug-in, tracking term definitions in documents, term quality and ontological correctness checking, community discussions over term meanings, and seamless interlinking of concepts across different thesauri. We also show that TermIt features better fit the E-government scenarios in the Czech Republic than other tools. Additionally, we present first results of TermIt user experience evaluation.
