Title: Creating an Online Arabic/English Thesaurus Based on Linked Data.
Authors: El Sherbini, Magda1 el-sherbini.1@osu.edu
Source: Library Resources & Technical Services. Jan2026, Vol. 70 Issue 1, p21-34. 14p.
Subject Terms: *Foreign language education, *Native language, *Multilingualism, *Language & languages, Scripts
Abstract: The article examines the limitations of English-only subject access in North American library catalogs and argues for the inclusion of non-English, script-based subject headings to improve discovery of foreign-language materials. Topics include the shortcomings of Library of Congress Subject Headings in representing non-Roman scripts, the benefits of adding native-language subject headings—particularly for Arabic materials—and the use of linked data to enhance multilingual subject access.
