D4b: ELSST Release Report

The European Language Social Science Thesaurus (ELSST) is a broad-based, multilingual thesaurus for the social sciences. It is owned and published by the Consortium of European Social Science Data Archives (CESSDA). During 2019/2020, work was undertaken to migrate ELSST from its previous bespoke UK Data Service (UKDS) thesaurus management system to the CESSDA Platform, using VocBench 3 as a back-end thesaurus management system and the Skosmos browser front-end system. This document describes the process undertaken to prepare ELSST content and documentation for the November 2020 release of ELSST.
