AB With the Semantic Web, thesauri recover a relevant role supporting semantic searches andother added-value services. Thesaurus standards define what constructs a thesaurus canhave and the integrity rules it must comply with. Thesaurus editors can be helped in theirwork if thesaurus tools offer them support for integrity, warning when integrity rules areviolated and/or helping them to correct these mistakes.The most recent thesaurus standard is ISO 25964, which supersedes ISO 2788, evolvingtowards concept-based thesauri, better aligned with the Semantic Web approach than theterm-based thesauri of ISO 2788. However, the W3C recommendation for KOS(Knowledge Organization System) representation in the semantic web context is SKOS,which is in fact prior to ISO 25964. This paper focuses on thesaurus integrity and theevolution from ISO 2788 to ISO 25964. Its effect on integrity issues is analyzed. Amethodological proposal for evaluating integrity support in thesaurus tools, arising fromthe results of this work, is presented. Its target audience is professionals in charge ofthesaurus edition. Besides being adapted to the most recent thesaurus standard, ISO25964, it also includes the comparison of ISO standards with SKOS. The paper iscompleted with the presentation of the results of applying it to three thesaurus tools.
