Thesauri

General Multilingual Environmental Thesaurus (GEMET)

Currently, GEMET, the General Multilingual Environmental Thesaurus, is the only thesaurus managed within the terminology tool. As additional thesauri are added, search and retrieval functionality specific to thesauri will be provided.

GEMET is a compilation of several multilingual vocabularies and has been designed as a general thesaurus for defining a core general terminology for the environment. The current version is available in 22 languages and contains over 6,000 terms.

Developed by the European Topic Centre on Catalogue of Data Sources and the European Environment Agency, GEMET is currently published and managed by the European Environment Information and Observation Network.

GEMET is available to the public and is downloadable in several formats.  It is also machine to machine accessible through Web Services.

If you wish to search and/or retrieve parts or all of GEMET, click on the EIONET Search Thesaurus page link.
