BIODIVERSITYThesaurus
Version 1.2(Last updated: 2020-02-26)
This resource contains 615 terminological entries grouped into 79 collections.
This bilingual thesaurus structures the key-concepts of biodiversity in its fundamental and appliedecological components. It uses the polyhierarchy and includes 400 associative relationships.Each descriptor has a large number of synonyms and searchable variants in English andFrench languages. The concepts are grouped by semantic categories, domains and EBV classes.Definitions are given with their source. It is aligned with AGROVOC ( http://aims.fao.org/standards/agrovoc/functionalities/search ) and GEMET ( https://www.eionet.europa.eu/gemet/en/themes/ )thesauri.
A French version of the thesaurus is also available.
The thesaurus is browsable online on the terminological portal Loterre: https://www.loterre.fr

Thesaurus
This bilingual thesaurus structures the key-concepts ofbiodiversity in its fundamental and applied ecologicalcomponents. It uses the polyhierarchy and includes 400associative relationships. Each descriptor has a largenumber of synonyms and searchable variants in English andFrench languages.
The concepts are grouped by semantic categories, domainsand EBV classes.
Definitions are given with their source.
It is aligned with AGROVOC ( http://aims.fao.org/fr/standards/agrovoc/functionalities/search ) and GEMET( https://www.eionet.europa.eu/gemet/en/themes/ )thesauri.
