Need a thesaurus database

Question

Is there an open source thesaurus available for download? It can be in any format. Preferably not from a 1915 dictionary. I need one to merge into a database application.

Answer 1

There are a number of opensource thesaurus, in several languages, available here: openoffice.org/en/dictionaries

I used some of them to build a web service providing thesaurus service: http://thesaurus.altervista.org/
