Government of Canada Core Subject Thesaurus / Thésaurus des sujets de base du gouvernement du Canada

“The tool is primarily intended for content managers, librarians, indexers and metadata developers in federal departments and agencies who must select controlled subject terms to index Government of Canada Web resources. In the Treasury Board Information Management Standard (TBITS) 39.2, the Government of Canada Core Subject Thesaurus is identified as the default controlled vocabulary for that purpose. Using the CST will help to reduce the duplication of effort in creating a variety of controlled vocabularies in the Government of Canada, as well as increase the interoperability of government web sites.”
