| The quick answer is that you can have a thesaurus in a Topic Map.
| Topic Maps is a technology / data model / format in which you can
| model and preserve stuff, and thesaurii, faceted classification
| systems, taxonomies, folksonomies, tagsonomies, and pretty much any
| other structure is just what ou would use Topic Maps for. Knock
| yourself out. :)

It's an article that attempts to survey this whole space and compare
it with topic maps.
