SUMMARY
The MoTIF project aims to create thesaurus construction guidelines and a pilot thesaurus of Irish folklore. The guidelines provide information on the construction of thesauri for librarians, archivists, museum professionals and other information professionals. Thesauri are vital and valuable tools in content discovery, information organisation and retrieval, and activities common to all fields including cultural heritage and higher education as well as business and enterprise. These guidelines will act as a comprehensive introduction to thesauri and will give professionals the advice they need to improve their own data practices by adhering to international standards and best practice.
The pilot thesaurus, also known as MoTIF, is intended to accompany the thesaurus construction guidelines and acts as an illustrative guide, providing examples throughout the guidelines as well as a sample thesaurus and demonstration of the international principles and best practices outlined in that document.
