Is Irish an official language in Britain? – Five arguments in favour of thesauri

The article ‘Five arguments in favour of thesauri & controlled vocabularies‘ shall not only clarify if Irish is an official language in Britain but also how thesauri and linked data mechanisms can support the following tasks:

• Make knowledge explicit and available throughout your department, your organization, your partner network, the whole world!
• Conquer the Babylonian language confusion!
• Help to make search and research activities more efficient!
• Link all your information sources in a meaningful and standardized way!
• Make skills, interests and knowledge of experts visible!

The paper (PDF) should help to make the world of thesauri and semantic knowledge models accessible intuitively.
