# AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency. 

# ACTION:

Request for comment and request for information. 

# SUMMARY:

                        The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is seeking to redesign its current Terminology Reference System (TRS) [see                         *http://www.epa.gov/​trs*] in order to better support future semantic Web needs, increase usability and integrate with other systems for enterprise-wide content management, search, and portal development. The agency has established the following requirements and is interested in receiving comments and information from potential bidders and experts in the field regarding these requirements.                     

# DATES:

Comments and or information must be submitted on or before November 28, 2005. 

# FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

                        Linda Spencer; Environmental Protection Agency; 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, MC 2822T; Washington, DC 20460; Phone: 202-566-1651; Fax: 202-566-1624; E-mail:                         *Spencer.linda@epa.gov.*

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Agency is seeking a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) and/or Government off-the-shelf (GOTS) software package(s) to match the user/system requirements. The Agency will also consider customization of a COTS/GOTS and the integration of several COTS/GOTS products. 

                    Part of EPA's vision is to see the TRS evolve from being just a terminology repository, into a suite of Environmental Terminology Services (ETS). It will always remain a repository for environmental terminology and terminology structures (taxonomies, thesauri, ontologies, dictionaries, etc.). However, the environmental terminology contained in the repository will be enriched. Through use and curation, the TRS will evolve from a term-based system to a concept-based system. The concepts the ETS contains, along with their terms and definitions, will have sufficient metadata to enable those concepts to be used as the building blocks for the creation of business-driven Agency terminology structures (taxonomies, thesauri, etc.)                           ( print page 69563)                        The repository will also contain an authoritative controlled vocabulary for the Agency which can serve in the creation of glossaries for Web pages and documents, a common vocabulary for search engines, and in the development of rules and regulations.
