Lexaurus Bank
Lexaurus Bank version 4 was released on March 15th 2010. It is a powerful vocabulary server that provides an online repository for publishing and managing controlled vocabularies, enabling subscribers to identify terms and to standardise on content classification and description.
Used by information architects, taxonomists and data modellers, Lexaurus Bank facilitates importing, editing and cross-mapping of all forms of structured vocabulary, including taxonomies, thesauri and ontologies, to enable collaborative creation of new, bespoke vocabularies and their dissemination to users. Lexaurus Bank retains all historical information relating to the development of terms and vocabularies, and provides a centralised, trusted data source for the synchronisation of metadata models, schemas and business semantics between enterprise applications and information systems.
