Motivation

[edit]

The Government of Canada Core Subject Thesaurus is a bilingual thesaurus consisting of terminology which represents all the fields treated in information resources of the Government of Canada. It contains 4,983 terms in English and 5,050 in French, including 2,294 preferred terms in English and 2,294 in French. All fields of knowledge are represented in the thesaurus, to varying degrees. 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. In the Treasury Board Standard on Metadata, the Government of Canada Core Subject Thesaurus is identified as the preferred source of controlled vocabulary for that purpose. The English and French versions of the Government of Canada Core Subject Thesaurus were developed and are maintained simultaneously by Library and Archives Canada (Q913250).
