The MACS project : Multilingual Access to subjects (LCSH, RAMEAU, SWD)

This paper is a revised and updated version of a presentation given at IFLA (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions) Jerusalem during the Classification and Indexing workshop on August 17, 2000. It will show the results achieved in the MACS Project (Multilingual Access to Subjects) since 1999, when the project was presented at IFLA Bangkok. That presentation, given by Genevieve Clavel-Merrin gave an overview of the work done between 1997 and 1999. Based on the final report of the CoBRA+ working group on multilingual subject access, the presentation stressed the value of cooperation in the quest for multilingual subject access.
