FAIRsharing record for: National Agricultural Library Thesaurus

This FAIRsharing record describes: The National Agricultural Library Thesaurus (NALT) is an online vocabulary of agricultural terms in English and Spanish. The Agricultural Thesaurus and Glossary were first released by the National Agricultural Library in 2002. In 2007, NAL and the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) collaborated to develop the Spanish version of the NAL Agricultural Thesaurus and Glossary, named Tesauro Agricola y Glosario. The thesaurus is primarily used for indexing and for improving retrieval of agricultural information. The subject scope of agriculture is broadly defined in the thesaurus, and includes terminology in the supporting biological, physical and social sciences. Biological nomenclature comprises a majority of the terms in the thesaurus, with political geography mainly described at the country level.
