Subject: online thesaurus and database

I am working on a dissertation topic which involves applying AI
techniques and methodologies on online information retrieval systems,
such as online catalog and online bibliography database.
This research has been conducted for the last two years.
Some results were reported in AAAI87.
At the current stage I am developing a program which can serve as
an online information specialist between the searchers and the retrieval
system. I am also actively looking for some kind of
online database (book records; in the areas of
computer science, information systems, and finance)
and online thesaurus (preferrably based on the
Library of Congress subject headings classification scheme).
Any pointers or information regarding these electronic forms of thesaurus and
database are highly appreciated.

For those of you who have similar research interests,
I would also be very happy to exchange ideas and thoughts.
Please contact me through email.
