SKOS VOCABULARY IMPLEMENTATION
Schools Online Thesaurus (ScOT)
The Schools Online Thesaurus (ScOT) provides a controlled vocabulary of terms
used in Australian and New Zealand schools. It encompasses all subject areas as
well as terms describing educational and administrative processes. The thesaurus
links non-preferred terms to curriculum terms. It also relates terms in a
browsable structure.
