Conception of a Workflow for the Semi-automatic Construction of a Thesaurus for the German Printing Industry

Abstract

During the BMWI granted project “Print-IT”, the need of a thesaurus based uniform and consistent language for the German printing industry became evident. In this paper we introduce a semi-automatic construction approach for such a thesaurus and present a workflow which supports users to generate thesaurus typical information structures from relevant digitalized resources with the help of common IT-tools.
