populating synonyms.txt

[Daniel Lovins <da...@yale.edu>]

Hello list.

Are there standardized lists out there for populating synonyms.txt?
Entering the terms manually seems like a bad idea.

Thanks for your help.

I understand that synonyms are domain-specific, although I could still see a
benefit of having standardized synonyms.txt files (a thesaurus) for general
use. Just like the ones you can download or is already embedded in word
processors like Open Office Writer or MS Word.

I can understand that you can get an english from wordweb.info, but I need
other major languages  and Scandinavian languages as well. 

Does someone know where I can find multiple thesaurus'es? Maybe even some
targeted at solr?

Thanks,

Michael

Synonyms are domain-specific. A food site would list "arugula" and
"rocket" as synonyms, but that would be a bad idea for NASA.
