Hi Andy,

Yes, you are right - sorry for not being precise enough :) We have implemented the thesaurus format as defined in the XQuery Full-Text Test Suite [1]. There is an XSD, which defines the format [2], as well as an exmaple thesaurus in the form of an XML file [3].

I hope this helps, but if you have more questions, please feel free to ask.

Greetings, Dimitar

Hi Dimitar,

I can not see the thesaurus format from the W3C examples. Indeed it says

*Note:*

A thesaurus may be standards-based or locally-defined. It may be a traditional thesaurus, or a taxonomy, soundex, ontology, or topic map. How the thesaurus is represented is implementation-dependenthttp://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-full-text-10/#dt-impleme ntation-dependent .

So with Basex can you give a example of a format that is supported? Can I use a SKOS file? /Andy

Hi Andy,

we do support the thesaurus full-text option, but we don't provide a "default" thesaurus and this is why the example query will return false. Thus, if you want to use thesauri you have to explicitly specify them, similar to the examples in W3Chttp://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-full-text-10/#ftthesaurusoption .

Greetings,

Dimitar
