Government of Canada Core Subject Thesaurus

Government of Canada Core Subject Thesaurus in SKOS/RDF format

Library and Archives Canada Canada is making its Subject Thesaurus available for download.

"The Government of Canada Core Subject Thesaurus is a bilingual thesaurus consisting of terminology that represents all the fields covered in the information resources of the Government of Canada. Library and Archives Canada is exploring the potential for linked data and the semantic web with LAC vocabularies, metadata and open content."

From the about page: "The tool is primarily intended for content managers, librarians, indexers and metadata developers in federal departments and agencies who must select controlled subject terms to index Government of Canada Web resources."
