| Abstract: |
The Unified Astronomy Thesaurus (UAT) is an open, interoperable and
community-supported thesaurus which unifies the existing divergent and
isolated Astronomy & Astrophysics vocabularies into a single
high-quality, freely-available open thesaurus formalizing astronomical
concepts and their inter-relationships. The UAT builds upon the
existing IAU Thesaurus with major contributions from the astronomy
portions of the thesauri developed by the Institute of Physics
Publishing, the American Institute of Physics, and SPIE. We describe
the effort behind the creation of the UAT and the process through which
we plan to maintain the document updated through broad community
participation. |
