HASSET – The Humanities and Social Science Electronic Thesaurus (UK Data Archive)
Submitted by admin on Fri, 10/05/2012
HASSET is the subject thesaurus developed by the UK Data Archive. It displays relationships between terms and allows cross referencing to synonyms as well as provide links to conceptually related terms. The thesaurus focuses on the social sciences and humanities. Coverage is most comprehensive in the core subject areas of social science disciplines: politics, sociology, economics, education, law, crime, demography, health, employment, and, increasingly, technology and environment. The thesaurus was initially based on the UNESCO Thesaurus (ISBN: 92-3-101469-2) and is continuously expanded and updated by the UK Data Archive. HASSET may be used by other organisations, for example to index materials, provided it is for non-commercial purposes and appropriate acknowledgement is given. A licence form allowing you to use or adapt HASSET in your own organisation can be requested from info@data-archive.ac.uk.
