A thesaurus is a book that lists words grouped together according to similarity of meaning (containing synonyms and sometimes antonyms), in contrast to a dictionary, which contains definitions and pronunciations.
 |
Thesaurus is only available starting from OpenKM 5.0. |
In Information Science, Library Science, and Information Technology, specialized thesauri are designed for information retrieval. They are a type of controlled vocabulary, for indexing or tagging purposes. If you want more information about the term you can take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thesaurus.
 |
OpenKM can work with thesaurus defined in .owl and .rdfs formats. |
There's a great utility http://protege.stanford.edu/ for creating and maintaining your own thesaurus. Specific thesauri can be found on the Internet. For example, Agrovoc ( FAO ), NASA Thesaurus, UNESCO Thesaurus, Public administration Thesaurus among others. Some of them are free and some have usage restrictions.
In order to correctly configure OpenKM to use a thesaurus the following configuration properties must be set:
kea.thesaurus.owl.file
kea.thesaurus.base.url
kea.thesaurus.tree.root
kea.thesaurus.tree.childs
Set OWL file
kea.thesaurus.owl.file=vocabulary/file.owl
Set base url
kea.thesaurus.base.url=http://www.someweb.org
Query to get root node
kea.thesaurus.tree.root=SELECT DISTINCT UID, TEXT FROM {UID} Y {OBJECT}, {UID} rdfs:label {TEXT} ; [rdfs:subClassOf {CLAZZ}] where not bound(CLAZZ)
and lang(TEXT)="en" USING NAMESPACE foaf=<http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>, dcterms=<http://purl.org/dc/terms/>,
rdf=<http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>, owl=<http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#>, rdfs=<http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>,
skos=<http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#>, dc=<http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/>
Query to get childs node
kea.thesaurus.tree.childs=SELECT DISTINCT UID, TEXT FROM {UID} rdfs:subClassOf {CLAZZ}, {UID} rdfs:label {TEXT} where xsd:string(CLAZZ) =
"RDFparentID" and lang(TEXT)="en" USING NAMESPACE foaf=<http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>, dcterms=<http://purl.org/dc/terms/>,
rdf=<http://www.w3.org /1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>, owl=<http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#>, rdfs=<http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>,
