Free Thesauri Online
January 23, 2014
Thesauri go hand-in-hand with dictionaries. Unlike dictionaries, however, that are readily available everywhere on the Internet, a good thesaurus is hard to come by. If you search in the deep Web long enough, then you find a rare resource that makes all the time spent searching worthwhile. MultiTes has collected several “Online Thesauri Available To The Public” from around the world. The countries that offer free thesauri are Brazil, Australia, the Philippines, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Costa Rica, Belgium, and the Unite States. Due to the variety of countries with readily available thesauri, not all of them are in English. Some of the topics covered include health, education and skills, Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island studies, statistics, agriculture, and culture heritage.
Some of the subjects are really random compared against each other, but it demonstrates how limited free thesauri are available. MultiTes specializes in software that help users author and publish thesauri. They offer web-based services, cloud services, and consulting.
Many of their clients have expressed their appreciation for MultiTes’ products:
” ‘I have been searching for a thesaurus management tool that would aid me in the development of multiple taxonomies within a single structure and export in XML. When I researched the market, I saw MultiTes recommended more than any other package. After reviewing its price structure and available tutorial, I was sold.’ –Lydia Bauer Content Librarian H&R Block United States.”
Hopefully MultiTes will add more thesauri in the future.
