EuroVoc - the EU's Multilingual Thesaurus

Today I learnt that EuroVoc is an online, multilingual thesaurus covering the activities of the EU, maintained by the Publications Office.

You can search for a term or browse by subject. Either way you are told what your term is in 22 EU languagues, plus Croatian and Serbian. It is pretty addictive if you like that kind of thing. As well as viewing online, you can also download sections of the thesaurus (part of the alphabet, or a particular subject).

Readers are also invited to suggest changes to the thesaurus to help improve the database using an online form.
