thesaurus with its approximately 6000 classes has a subset of about 60
science-oriented classes, plus many related terms and classes in other domains that
may also be useful (e.g. politics, law, economics, trade, finance, social
questions, education, employment, transport, envirosnment, agriculture, energy,
geography). The science-oriented classes provide the major science domains, but
may not be detailed enough for your purposes. Please check out for yourself. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
