For the Semantic Web to be effective the notion of controlled vocabulary shared by a community is central. Structuring of controlled vocabularies, including taxonomies, thesauri and ontologies has been studied for many years. In this paper we shall investigate the use of one such method of defining controlled vocabularies; thesauri. We compare approaches which have been proposed for expressing such controlled vocabularies in the Semantic Web, and propose a common forms to allow a migration path from existing thesauri to the Semantic Web. We then discuss how such a common thesuarus format might be used in the Semantic Web.
