The Thesaurus Project of the Geological Survey of Austria attempts the task of the construction of a controlled vocabulary for the semantic harmonisation of map-based geodata. The content-related realization of this project is governed by the Thesaurus Editorial Team, which consists of thematic experts from the Geological Survey of Austria. Currently there are 4 thematic thesauri available which reflect the basic information of geological maps: lithology, geologic timescale, geologic and tectonic units. All thesauri are available in both German and English* via an open web-application and standardised service interface.
We want to be the leading organization in knowledge management and knowledge technologies in Austria. We want to be among the leading industry-based and application-oriented research institutions in knowledge management and knowledge technologies in Europe.
