MultiTes EDK
An enterprise complement to MultiTes Pro, MultiTes EDK consists
of a set of tools which help you deploy and publish your thesaurus (.th2) on your organization's servers.
Leveraging powerful features available in server-class
SQL-based database engines,
users can access thesaurus information from any web browser or ADO/ODBC compliant applications.
MultiTes EDK includes a full-blown web based application with source code (ASP & PHP)
to illustrate the basics of accessing the thesaurus once it has been transferred to the
database server. It also includes the tools necessary to perform the data transfer
to MS SQL Server-, Oracle- and MySQL-based database management systems.
For a demo, see a live site using MultiTes EDK
