ELISE is developing a framework of guidelines, recommendations and reusable tools for implementing and enabling geospatial interoperability, building on the initial work of EULF and ARe3NA, and evolving to address the implications of new policies and technologies.

Besides, ELISE is investigating disruptive technological developments for data exchange, licensing, privacy, and new ways of finding and using location data.

Synonyms finder

The Synonyms finder is an open-source tool that provides a convenient way to collect synonyms and related terms from a given list of words.

To detect synonyms, the tool consults vocabularies available online and performs syntactic comparisons and consults the semantic information (relationships) present in the online resources. The tool allows working iteratively, allowing, for example, to "find synonyms of synonyms". It also provides links to the original resources, letting the user further explore the origin of the hits found. [read more]
