<DEFANGED_div dir="ltr"><DEFANGED_div>Dear PAMNET,AstroLib,</DEFANGED_div><DEFANGED_div><br></DEFANGED_div>First, if you have not seen the initial announcement about the Unified Astronomy Thesaurus (UAT), please see:<a href="http://ioppublishing.org/newsDetails/new-thesaurus-created-for-the-astronomy-community" target="_blank"> http://ioppublishing.org/newsDetails/new-thesaurus-created-for-the-astronomy-community</a><br>

order to create a robust thesaurus that is truly representative of the
research being conducted in the domain of astronomy, our group needs
your help in finding astronomers that would be willing to assist in the
UAT editorial process. We expect the workload to be light, but do need
the expertise and advice of editors to aide in the decision-making
process of developing the UAT further. If you know of astronomers at
your organization who might be interested in participating in the
project as editors, please let us know? Feel free to forward this
message on to your colleagues. We are also happy to respond to any
questions they may have. Thank you in advance.</DEFANGED_div>

thesaurus tool, built using the D3 JavaScript library, meant to aide in
