We wanted to have access to a collection of existing vocabularies for our own use, and to be able to comment on them and share them with others. The next logical step was to open that collection to everyone - to add to as well as browse and experience. We have a concept map of cheese rinds, thesauri about ice cream. Harry Potter, and peace. We hope you enjoy the collection. Please contribute as well.
