The anaeeThes thesaurus aims at providing a controlled vocabulary for the semantic description of the study of continental ecosystems and their biodiversity. The thesaurus consists of concepts handled in different main thematic areas: abiotic (e.g. atmosphere, climate, hydrosphere, litosphere); biotic (e.g. animals, plants, micro-organisms, biodiversity); chemical compounds; experimentation and observation (e.g. instrument, method, protocol, measurement, quality, infrastructure); ecosystems (e.g. type, structure, functioning); modeling (e.g. formalism, platform, type of model, computer language); disciplines (disciplinary and scientific fields); and unit (units of the international system, inherited from the OBOE-standards ontology).
