A thesaurus management tool is a software solution that provides for the development and maintenance of controlled vocabularies and thesauri. Some customisation is still generally required to allow incorporation of user-defined relationships and integration into the website design. The best tools also need to accommodate management and use of the thesaurus in an often decentralised publishing environments.
A general description and evaluation of three thesaurus management tools are available so far: MultiTes Pro, MAIstro and Amicus.
