Meaningful Linkage and Navigation in the Shared Information Space

Environmental terminology and its semantics constitute a major building block for discovery, understanding, and integration of any kind of accessible information. They have already taken a long way starting with early subject heading systems of the libraries, moving on to multilingual thesauri such as GEMET, some of them evolving towards more expressive ontologies. This workshop will present several domain-specific and interdisciplinary examples and discuss common design issues such as terminology structure models, cross-referencing, symmetric vs. asymmetric multilingualism, identity and reference, publishing terminology in the Web, and linking environmental data to such published terminology.
