I agree with Stella's suggestion that you should include some multilingual thesauri. Another one in this category is GEMET (GEneral Multilingual Environmental Thesaurus) <http://www.eionet.eu.int/GEMET> This has 19 languages, and is available in "an XML format" in each language. There is another Web interface to the multilingual UNESCO thesaurus on UNESCO's own site at <http://databases.unesco.org/thesaurus/> Leonard -- Willpower Information (Partners: Dr Leonard D Will, Sheena E Will) Information Management Consultants Tel: +44 (0)20 8372 0092 27 Calshot Way, Enfield, Middlesex EN2 7BQ, UK.
