ANN: STW Thesaurus for Economics published

STW Thesaurus for Economics is now available under http://zbw.eu/stw.
 
STW is a richly interconnected vocabulary in English and German on
economics and business economics as well as some related subject areas.
It includes subject categories and lots of synonyms in order to find the
appropriate terms. Its publication aims at providing an interlinking hub
for economics resources on the web of Linked Data.
 
The thesaurus is maintained by the German National Library of Economics
(ZBW) and published under a Creative Commons (by-nc-sa) license.
 
It is delivered as XHTML+RDFa pages with an incremental search interface
and a navigatable tree. A SKOS RDF/XML dump version can be downloaded,
as well as a set of links to dbpedia concepts. More information about
the design of the application can be found in a paper for the "Linked
Data on the Web" workshop in Madrid
(http://events.linkeddata.org/ldow2009/papers/ldow2009_paper7.pdf).
