LusTRE: a Linked Thesaurus fRamework for Environment
LusTRE is a linked thesaurus framework that enables the joint exploitation of multiple knowledge organization systems (KOS) related to the environment domain. It encodes thesauri using SKOS and publishes them as linked data. LusTRE includes several environmental thesauri like AGROVOC, EARTh, GEMET, and links concepts between them. It aims to improve data sharing across terminology resources while keeping each KOS separate. LusTRE is available as a SPARQL endpoint and web browser for exploring and linking across included thesauri.

Editor's Notes
- #2 IN questa breve presentazione introdurrò Lustre, un framework di thesauri per l’ambiente che stiamo sviluppando nell’ambito del progetto europeo eENVPLUS.
- #3 Come è noto le implementation RULEs di INSPIRE al fine di facilitare la catalogazione e il riuso dei dati e servizi geografici prescrivono l’impiego di thesauri nella compilazione del metatada INSPIRE Tuttavia, Vi sono differenti thesauri sviluppati negli anni con caratteristiche piuttosto eterogene in termini di copertura tematica, multilinguismo e popolarità all’interno delle specifiche comunità coinvolte nella gestione dei dati e servizi geografici. A seconda di chi compila il metadato ed i tematismi coinvolti ,la scelta del tesauro da addottare può legittimamente cadere su un thesaurus piuttosto che un altro Pero a livello europeo ci si trova ad avere spatial data infrastructure con risorse documentate con thesauri differenti è quindi è importante cercare di facilitare l’impiego congiunto di tesauri per - (i) trarre vantaggio dalle differenti specificità dei thesauri -(II) facilitare la ricerca di risorse che magari sono state annotate con differenti thesauri
- #4 per facilitare l’impiego congiunto di questi thesauri nell’ambito nasce LusTRE del progetto Europeo eENVplus Stiamo costruendo un framework per mettere a fattore comune diversi thesauri In particololare, partino dai risultati ottenuni in un nostro precendete progetto to catalogue geographical data/information/services enabling the sharing among the different communities working in environment-related domains
- #5 Earth come general purpouse thesaurus, essendo una estensione di GEMET, che include più di 14000 concetti A questo abbiamo aggiunto risorse terminologiche per coprire più in specifico i tematismi InSPIRE in cui si focalizzava il progetto natureSDIplus, Habitat and biotopes, species distribution, Biogeographical regions, protect sites
