OSTI Semantic Thesaurus v1
Abstract
The OSTI Semantic Thesaurus is a reference for scientific and technical terms and relationships. The term data is used to implement keyword-to-concept mapping in OSTI.GOV searches, where searched term(s) will be mapped to related scientific concepts, allowing the end user to retrieve results related to their search terms and also explore narrower and similar concepts. The OSTI Semantic Thesaurus originally inherited data and structure from the INIS/ETDE Thesaurus (https://www.etde.org/edb/IAEA-INIS-ETDE-01-2013-08.pdf), which was a controlled terminology for indexing information within the subject scopes of the International Nuclear Information System (INIS) and the Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDE). The data has been expanded upon since that time with the inclusion of scientific concepts from sources like Wikidata, and through manual curation. This dataset is an export from the OSTI Semantic Thesaurus in RDF/SKOS format, which is specifically suited for representation of controlled vocabularies like thesauri. While the full thesaurus includes additional relation types which may be included in future revisions, this export is limited to broader, narrower, and related term relations. Definitions and scope notes are included where available.
