Hi

Stephen, yes sorry should have been more plain

a term can have a Prefered Term (PT), many Broader Terms (BT), Many Narrower
Terms (NT) Related Terms (RT) etc

So

User supplied Term is say : Ski

Prefered term: Skiing
Broader terms could be : Ski and Snow Boarding, Mountain Sports, Sports
Narrower terms: down hill skiing, telemark, cross country
Related terms: boarding, snow boarding, winter holidays

Michael,

yes exactly, SKOS, although maybe without the over wheening ambition to take
over the world.

By the sounds of it though out of the box you get a simple (but pretty
effective synonym list and ring) Anything more we'd need to write it
ourselfs ie your thesaurus filter and plus a change to the response as
broader terms, narrower terms etc would be good to be suggested to the ui.

No plugins out there ?
