Dear Ralph, The temporary URL of the thesaurus is: http://d-gauss.educ.cam.ac.uk I'll post a permanent URL to the group when this is available. The thesaurus was password protected until 5 minutes ago, but it is probably mature enough to make it publicly available. The web version allows you to install an 'mbutton' in your browser. You can then select any word or phrase on a web page, press the button, and look it up in the thesaurus. We need to do more work on styling, but there is already a useful amount of school level mathematics content. It is currently undergoing an educational review by a group of mathematics teachers with the aim of refining the language, illustrating the content further, and improving the semantic linkage. The original ontology was developed using Protege. A small delegation from our project (The Millennium Mathematics Project) is visiting MIT in March, sending out feelers as part of the new Cambridge University/MIT link. Would it be sensible to arrange a meeting there? Mike On Mon, 12 Feb 2001, Ralph R.
