[Web4lib] Thesaurus Management Software

[Sue Dentinger]

The software we're testing for a thesaurus for the PrimateLit database 
controlled vocabulary is dhtmlxTree: http://www.scbr.com/docs/products/dhtmlxTree/

It's opensource for the standard edition. There is a commercial license as well 
for a professional edition.

So far it's looking very good, but we're not production yet. I don't get the 
impression that it was at all difficult to implement, but I wasn't really 
involved with the choice.

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone can recommend either open-source or commercial
thesaurus management software? We're developing a controlled vocabulary for
our catalogue and looking for a tool to create our own thesaurus.

Thanks!
