THESAURUS  

 

Here is our illustrated thesaurus of automobiles , their terminology, and other mechanical vehicles, compiled by Didier Mahistre, with contributions from Anthony Pinto, Francis Cincotta, Daniel Culas, and proofread by Dominique Thibaudon. It is the most comprehensive ever created on vehicles in France .

 

A thesaurus is a structured directory of terms (keywords) for content analysis and document classification; that is, a reference work with as complete a vocabulary as possible .
