THEMATIC THESAURUS

Construction of a thematic search system, associated to the digital literature library.

This requires the creation of a controlled vocabulary, in which the semantic connections between the terms will be established in a manner which the user would not have to restrict his/her thematic search to a small list of closed terms.
