Thesauri

Appen can undertake thesaurus development in several ways: from first principles, as an extension to existing work or as validation of an existing thesaurus, with consistency and coverage an important focus.

Because each language is subtly different and requires deep grammatical analysis to produce a quality product, native speakers are always used to build a thesaurus. In this, as in Lexicons, Appen's highly qualified and trained linguists work in all scripts and directionality. Appen can produce thesauri to client specifications as a licensable database which is supplied in a standard XML format or to client specifications. Appen's quality control and data flow management tools bring the work within reasonable scales of time and effort and manage the labour-intensive activity central to thesaurus work.
