An Online Multi-Lingual, Multi-Faith Thesaurus: A Progress Report on FTHES
Journal Title: Webology - Year 2005, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Reports the progress on a project to design and develop a machine-readable multi-lingual, multifaith thesaurus, specifically for the domain Religious Mysticism. Describes the procedure adopted for identifying the core concepts of the subject and related fields, and ensuring literary warrant for the concepts and relationships among them. Problems of variations in meaning for a concept in different cultures and languages, and alternative structuring and presentation of the schedules are discussed. The system permits selecting a term occurring in Sufi, Vedic, or English sources on mysticism, and navigation through hypertext linking to equivalent term(s) in the other two sources. Future work envisaged is briefly described.
