Moby Thesaurus is the largest and most comprehensive thesaurus data source in English available for commercial use. This second edition has been thoroughly revised adding more than 5,000 root words (to total more than 30,000) with an additional million synonyms and related terms (to total more than 2.5 million synonyms and related terms). Although this thesaurus is provided in a very simple ASCII format suitable to viewing, editing, and automatic parsing, most users will consider reformatting schemes to represent the data in a more economical form, such as table of related terms whose index can be shared by many roots. This is roughly the technique used by the thesaurus in print form that has the large index coupled with the synonyms under abstract (and arbitrary) headings in the front matter. Tables of related terms can be stored in, for example, LZ compressed form until actually required by the application. Combining such schemes could easily reduce the storage requirement of this data by an order of magnitude or more. The supplementary file, roget13a.txt, provides a small thesaurus
