The SNS-Navigator provides support for all questions concerning environmental terms including the common place names.

Itīs based upon the Semantic Network Service (SNS) of the Federal Environmental Agency and contains a bi-lingual (German/English) semantic network which consists of three components:

• the Environmental Thesaurus UmThesŪ with its 33,759 inter-networked terms.
• the Geo-Thesaurus-Environment (GTU) with 18,931 geographic names and the spatial intersections of all these places.
• an Environmental Chronology of 593 current or historical events that affected the environment.

The SNS-Navigator represents the terms as an semantic net.
