Development of the CSA-NBII Biocomplexity Thesaurus began in 2002-2003 through a partnership between the NBII and CSA, a worldwide information company with more than 30 years experience as a leading bibliographic database provider. The original Biocomplexity Thesaurus, first made available online in 2003, was a merger of five individual thesauri: CSA Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Thesaurus, CSA Life Sciences Thesaurus, CSA Pollution Thesaurus, CSA Sociological Thesaurus, and CERES/NBII Thesaurus. In 2004, the CSA Ecotourism Thesaurus was also merged into the Biocomplexity Thesaurus. Merging and reconciliation of the terms in these thesauri was performed by Jessica Milstead, a leading expert in the development of scientific thesauri. The NBII Thesaurus Working Group oversees expansion of the thesaurus and addition or modification of terms. In mid-2008, the Thesaurus will be expanded to include new terms to support the fire ecology and management communities. ... [Information of the supplier]
