NZGLS thesauri - Updates
FONZ and SONZ Updates
July 2008
After completion of a research survey and review, updates to FONZ
and SONZ have been put on hold indefinitely. The survey showed that,
now they are no longer used by the New Zealand Government portal, their
main value is as a starting point for more specific vocabularies.
Accordingly, the existing versions will remain available in their
current forms, along with a translation into XML format.
March 2007
The NZGLS standard, including the FONZ and SONZ thesauri, is
currently under review. Pending this review, suggestions for new terms
are being considered by the Thesauri Steward (State Services
Commission) and, if accepted, published in a list of candidate terms on
this webpage. No new terms will be officially added to either of the
thesauri until the review is completed and we have a clear picture of
their future use.
