Abstract
In this paper, we describe a new and unique thesaurus which allows us to address temporal aspects in search and data mining, and to improve context-based retrieval. We discuss the application of the Historical Thesaurus of English (HTE) to semantic tagging of texts from AD 700 to the current day, and present several use-cases where the power of HTE is highly exploitable for linguistics, information retrieval and computational approaches to meaning.
