The Thesaurus Management System THEMAS is an open source online system for the creation, maintenance and management of multi-thematic, multilingual thesauri. It was developed and is supported by the Center for Cultural Informatics, Information Systems Laboratory, Institute of Informatics, Technology and Research Foundation within the project DARIAH CRETE National Digital Infrastructure for Research in the Arts and Humanities DYAS.
It is an ideal tool for analyzing the logical structure of thesauri, checking and ensuring their consistency, and one of the best choices for consistent management of a set of interconnected terminologies in a distributed environment, for data classification and access.
The software is offered as an open source solution.
Its special features include:
– support for workflow and multiple user groups
– flexible processing and search mechanisms
– adherence to consistency rules (ISO 2788)
– multiple presentation and navigation methods
– saving presentations
