<ul></ul><p>I found a whole list of engineering thesaurii:<br /><a class="external" href="http://www.taxonomywarehouse.com/resultsbycat_include.asp?vCatUID=52&catcode=081200">http://www.taxonomywarehouse.com/resultsbycat_include.asp?vCatUID=52&catcode=081200</a></p>
<p>From these, several candidate thesaurii seem potentially good fits:</p>
<p>Engineering Thesaurus<br />---------------------<br />One potentially relevant Engineering Thesaurus, from CSA, the same company that helped assemble the NBII thesaurus. This is used for indexing engineering literature, and is possibly available from CSA.<br /><a class="external" href="http://www.taxonomywarehouse.com/vocabdetails_include.asp?vVocID=281">http://www.taxonomywarehouse.com/vocabdetails_include.asp?vVocID=281</a><br /> (The CSA web site is: <a class="external" href="http://www.csa.com/">http://www.csa.com/</a>)</p>
<p>Gale Engineering Thesaurus<br />--------------------------<br /><a class="external" href="http://www.taxonomywarehouse.com/vocabdetails_include.asp?vVocID=36">http://www.taxonomywarehouse.com/vocabdetails_include.asp?vVocID=36</a></p>
<p>IEEE Web Thesaurus Keywords<br />---------------------------<br />IEEE Web Thesaurus Keywords contains vocabulary associated with electrical and electronic engineering. The terminology can be used to assist in indexing and retrieval of information.<br /><a class="external" href="http://www.taxonomywarehouse.com/vocabdetails_include.asp?vVocID=88">http://www.taxonomywarehouse.com/vocabdetails_include.asp?vVocID=88</a><br /><a class="external" href="http://code.ucsd.edu/keywords.html">http://code.ucsd.edu/keywords.html</a></p>
<p>Inspec Thesaurus <br />----------------<br />The Inspec thesaurus is used to index and provide access to scientific and technical literature in physics, electrical engineering, electronics, communications, control engineering, computers and computing, and information technology. As well as containing the controlled terms and lead-ins or cross-reference terms, the Thesaurus gives further help by showing the relationships between terms, the dates on which they were added and the terms in use before these dates.<br /><a class="external" href="http://www.taxonomywarehouse.com/vocabdetails_include.asp?vVocID=86">http://www.taxonomywarehouse.com/vocabdetails_include.asp?vVocID=86</a></p>
<p>NASA Thesaurus <br />--------------<br />The scope of this controlled vocabulary includes not only aerospace engineering, but all supporting areas of engineering and physics, the natural space sciences (astronomy, astrophysics, planetary science), Earth sciences, and to some extent, the biological sciences. Need to check terms of usage, which seem very restrictive. The vocabulary can be viewed in PDF format here:<br /> <a class="external" href="http://www.sti.nasa.gov/98Thesaurus/vol1.pdf">http://www.sti.nasa.gov/98Thesaurus/vol1.pdf</a><br />Probably costs between $250 to $500 to download a better electronic format, depending on format.

<ul></ul><p>I downloaded the IEEE and NASA thesaurii and added a copy to the CVS server:</p>
<pre><code>first/docs/thesaurii/ieee-keywords.txt<br /> first/docs/thesaurii/nasa-thesaurus-vol1.pdf</code></pre>
<p>If we can get other thesaurii we should put them there as well.</p> FIRST - Bug #3768: find engineering vocabulary for assessment classificationhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/3768?journal_id=127492009-05-04T16:56:00ZSandeep Namilikondasandeep.namilikonda@gmail.com
<ul></ul><p>Currently, we have identified a few potential thesauri/taxonomies of relevance.<br />But, we will not know if further resources would be necessary until we test client-prototype on exams from the Engineering courses. Hence, I set the status to REMIND and the target milestone to "client-prototype".</p> FIRST - Bug #3768: find engineering vocabulary for assessment classificationhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/3768?journal_id=127502013-03-27T21:24:29ZRedmine Admin
